Keep Learning to be an Expert

Being an expert if your field or industry takes more that just learning everything there is to know today, then sitting back and relaxing. The word expert means you have to learn and know what's new tomorrow, next week and next year. As soon as someone asks you about an innovation in your industry and you have have to answer "I don't know" or "I will look into that", you are not the expert anymore. This can happen quickly as the world is always changing.

We never outgrow or "outexperience" (is that a word?) our need for knowledge because there is always something or someone coming along with what we don't know YET. Read or scan all you can find in your field and search the internet for new ideas at least weekly and be the first to know what here or coming soon. Keeping the Expert status will make you more valuable in business, speaking and life. People will come to you for answers and you you will love giving them. It's never time to stop learning.
