When you started your Salesforce career, you were probably overwhelmed at first. There’s a megaton of information to absorb, and sometimes it can feel like too much.
But bit by bit, you eventually found your way. And adopting a curious mindset can really accelerate your learning.
Even when you’re a self-proclaimed expert, it’s important to keep an open and curious mind. It’s never possible to know everything about Salesforce, let alone all the surrounding technologies. So stay humble and listen to others.
I’ve learned so much from readers like you, significantly more than I expected. So many readers have shared their tips, insights, perspectives, and solutions. I’m extremely grateful for this, and continue to personally reply to each of your emails.
To maintain a curious perspective, consider asking yourself these questions:
- Do I understand the problem I’m trying to solve?
- What’s the best way to conduct research?
- What are the pros and cons of each potential solution?
- What criteria do I use to select the best solution?
- Thinking outside the box, what alternatives are there?
The takeaway
Never stop learning. And learning requires humility, listening skills, reasoning, and exploring.
