Inquisitive Minds Succeed

by Karen Pickering

I’ve had the privilege this past week of answering marketing questions for students attending the online courses at the University of Guelph, located in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. The questions were so relevant and clearly showed how much thought the students put into them. I think that when you’ve been in any business for a while it becomes a chore, something you put off rather than become enthused about. These students proved to me that the enthusiasm comes not from the activity itself, but from the process of learning.

Learning is at the core of what makes us thrive as human beings. Take it upon yourself to learn, whether it's about your horse, your work, or some other aspect of life. When we learn something new, we open ourselves up not only to that specific knowledge we're looking for, but to a community of others who are interested in the same thing. It's not just educational—it's energizing!

Check out the online courses at The University of Guelph. If you're in the horse business, you may find just what you’re looking for.

When it comes to marketing an equine business, I’m here to help—but take your success into your own hands. There are many ways to learn how to get where you want to be. Be inquisitive!

On another note, today is Veteran's Day. Please take a moment to be thankful for the sacrifices of our brave soldiers. Because of them we have freedom. Thank you to our troops past and present!
