Develop Yourself

We all want success in our OGI business. OceanGrown International is providing a great opportunity for us, yet it is incumbant that we develop skills that will further our business.

That may be soft skills, such as developing our ability to communicate, taking personal responsibility for our business, good teamwork and having integrity. It may be by building technical skills such as website design, writing skills, Search Engine Optimization and knowledge of specifics about our company.

Some of the best resources for developing skills, both hard and soft is reading. I talk to many people who tell me they haven't picked up a book in years. Self development books and audio's are great sources of soft skill development. Technical books, such as "How to's" or podcasts on SEO can provide some technical skills. Specific literature about our company is important so you can speak with authority about what we offer and where we are going as a company.

It takes action, along with knowledge that leads to success. Don't be afraid to make mistakes along the way. The faster you make mistakes in this business, the faster you grow your skills and improve results. Develop yourself because in the end, you... are your greatest investment.

Here are a few books (thanks for the comment andrew). I will add a few more later that I have personally benefited from and I think anyone looking to increase knowledge in the network marketing industry should have.
