The family of a good friend of mine has a special nightly tradition over supper. Each person at the table has to answer what have they learned that day? The first time I had the pleasure of sharing a meal with them I was struck about what a great question it was. I vowed that I would try to answer that question each and every day from then on. I was struck about how that simple question made me stop in my tracks and reflect on my day. What did I do? Who did I interact with? What did I do well? What did I fumble with? What did I learn? Like all great vows unless one is diligent it becomes forgotten. Luckily, I was able to have supper with them last night and guess what I was asked? Of course. This time though I had to think of an answer. And think some more. I couldn’t think of one for the longest time. I fumbled out a half hearted answer and promised myself I would answer this question in one way or another every day. It is so obvious that every day we learn something new and it should be acknowledged. Later that night I thought that this can be applied to business as well. I am going to sit back at the end of the day and either silently or with my wife or friends and ask myself what did I learn about the world around me and my business today? I hope it will force me to sit back and reflect on my day and its achievements, little victories or my works in progress.
