Thanks Joan and Melanie for chiming in!
We never stop learning. As much as I admire tried and true wisdom the world is just moving too quickly to not stay informed. Melanie, your strategy of picking an expert in each field is a great way to save time and learn big. That is why I'm such an advocate for everyone to market from their expertise, it creates a loyal following.

I keep current by interacting with people online, reading, attending seminars and stretching myself to try things that are really new and different for me. As long as I'm learning, I'm growing and meeting new people to connect with in different ways. There will always be people who know more than I do about a subject, and people who know less; it's fun and exciting to keep a hand in both camps.

To stay fresh and up-to-date, I like to search Technorati or AllTop for the top bloggers in my niche to see what they're talking about. Also, I have scheduled Google Alerts for professionals in my field to stay current on all the latest buzz. Some time ago, I decided on a select, handful of online experts to start observing in each of the following arenas: Social Media Marketing, Article Marketing, Blogging, Publicity, Public Speaking, Copywriting, and Consulting. These individuals are marketers that I admire and respect and consider to be true, top notch professionals. Vicki and Lisa are absolutely right ... watch, listen and learn!

Amethyst:
I love how you phrased that: stay "current" with the CURRENT! That's what it's all about.

I really resonated with all these responses – Sheryl's probably the most – being in a Spiritual business I have two sides to the coin that are calling to me – on the one side to be constantly tracking energetically where the shifts are in the larger Universal field and on the other side to be able to apply the insights immediately to provide service for my clients and assist them through my business to be more energetically aligned themselves – so my business must be robust and fluid enough to shift along with the flow of the energy.

Making connections both live and virtually through both attending and giving classes, workshops, live events, masterminds etc. is one of the best ways to stay "current" with the CURRENT!

I'm looking forward to being with Nancy and other Spiritually based business leaders coming up in a few weeks at the Spiritual Marketing Telesummit – another wonderful opportunity to share energy and be of service.
