088 – The Language of Training

Listen Later

Let’s start with the metaphor of a train – as in locomotive.

Training keeps the Train on the Tracks.  The train is your business – the tracks are the training and the narrow path to progress and prosperity.

If you veer off the tracks, you get stuck in the mud and make no progress.

The tracks are a Blessing to be celebrated!

The tracks are not a burden – the tracks are freedom!

 

TRAINING:

When I say Training – I want you to think of That Metaphor.  A Train moving fast – productively moving forward on the tracks – that Train is Your Business.  Your amazing lifestyle business that is moving forward without you working in the day-to-day activities.

Why is the language of training a part of the language of the self-managed business?

Because it is through Training that you are able to get free of the work of the business.

 

There are some mental roadblocks you have to get over first –

These will DERAIL – Your Training
Have you ever thought this – or even said them…

  1. Only I can do this work
  2. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself
  3. You just cant hire good people these days

    4. THOSE are Limiting Beliefs – you cannot move forward in business with those beliefs

    Here’s the truth:  You can create a system – think, Step By Step process for almost anything.

     

    What does an Intentional Training program include?

    1. A trainer – a Certified Trainer…as in you know she’s good and she knows the standards. The Trainer should also be a Good teacher.
      2. Huge lesson learned:  Your Best team member – technician/sales person/ whatever – is Not necessarily a good trainer.
      You need a Train-the-Trainer program as well – So that you know they not only know how to Do the work – they know how to TEACH the work! 
    2. STO = Strategic Training Objectives
      3. Not just a TASK – an STO is a task on Red Bull.
      It is connected to vision
      It is thought about
      It is trained – Training is Transfer – a transfer of information and techniqueIt has a clear objective
      ALSO: A Training Manual – it includes all of your STO’s in a binder of some kind – paper or digital or both 
    3. A Training Schedule – Training takes time! Give the training the time it needs.
