Believing there's no time for training
Everybody's running like crazy, but activity doesn't always equal results. By slowing down to sharpen your skills, you can actually be more productive. You might have heard the famous story about the two lumberjacks, one who chopped all day long, while the other took a few minutes each hour to sharpen his axe. Who do you think chopped more wood that day?

Allowing complacency to keep you stuck in the comfort zone
As creatures of habit, it's easy to keep doing what we've been doing while hoping things will get better. The danger is that your competitors are getting better and you're not, which could easily cost you business. It's those companies that continually improve who soar ahead of their competitors.

Communication skills training isn't necessary
Knowledge and information only goes so far. The ability to express your ideas, think on your feet, and get to the point is critical to almost every aspect of business. The challenge is, without good communication skills people are limited in their ability to be understood. That's why continually improving in this area is critical to individual and company growth.
