What's More Important?

What is more important? 
What you know? Or what you don't know?

It's nice to know stuff.  But it's even better to know what you don't know.

If I know how to cook a dinner, I can do it confidently.

If I know how to use a screwdriver, I can assemble a lot of things.

If I know how to use a pocket knife, I can whittle a stick.

If I know how to drive, I can pilot myself from one location to another.

If I don't know how to cook, use a screwdriver, a pocket knife or drive a car...then I can't do any of those things successfully.  Success is based on getting things done.  

But as long as you know about cooking, assembling items, whittling or driving, you can hire someone to do those functions for you.  If I don't know about those skills or tasks, then I can't even ask someone else to do them.  They simply don't get addressed or completed. 

You can't get something done if it's not on your "radar".

In many cases, I may not even know what I don't know...so that leaves me, not just with the inability to do certain functions, but perhaps it leaves me with the total lack of knowledge that such things can be done. It limits my potential.

What you don't know is a significant limiting factor in your progress.  Perhaps what you don't know is where your business's key to success is hiding.  

So what to do?

First, learn what you don't know. You do that by asking questions.

Second, learn if you are the one that needs to learn how to perform that function.

Third, if #2 is "no", then learn who you can hire to do that job to get it done.

Is the key to your business's success hiding in what you don't know?

As long as I know what I don't know...

Then I can get learn or "hire" the knowledge. 

 Are you able to determine what you don't know?

If not, how will you even know that you need to get it done?
