Professional development is your responsibility, not your employer's. People who take ownership of their personal growth receive salary increases 2.5 times higher than those who don't actively invest in themselves.

• Professional growth requires personal investment - no one is more invested in your career than you
• Mastery is never "one and done" - continuous improvement requires ongoing learning and application
• Beware of "overconsumption" where you take in too much information without acting on it
• Use a simple 5-step framework to generate forward progress: capture key takeaways, prioritize what matters, break into action steps, schedule time, and find accountability
• What gets scheduled gets done - treat your development time as seriously as client meetings
• "The best investment you'll ever make is in yourself." - Warren Buffett

What's one skill you've been putting off learning? What resource could help you develop it? Most importantly, what action will you take this week to move forward?
