I went to an internet marketing seminar this past weeend in  Las Vegas. And,  as I often get when I go away to seminar, I got a big ‘ah-ha’ about keeping up with technology.  As we all know technology changes and we need to keep current with that constant change.  And as entrepreneurs we need to continually learn new business techniques.  I am always learning new techniques and buying programs to help me with this.

But it’s not just technology that changes, you change!

At one point in your business career you are focusing on one thing, then as your business grows you start to focus on other stuff.  This makes life so exciting, in that you can see and watch the development in your business, but you also can see the growth and development in yourself as a person.

This is part of why I devoured  learning and teaching WordPress as a business platform for websites.  There are so many ways you can use WordPress, and it will keep changing with you as you grow your business and develop new websites.  You can  see a sampling of some of my students sites here.

I never got this when I worked in my corporate life.  Yes, I did learn new stuff, and got very good at my craft in the special effect biz (as a senior technical director for George Lucas at Industrial Light and Magic), but I didn’t have the same personal development that I get now as a business owner running my own business.
