I heard this question on a podcast and it had me thinking. Since we are all prone to confirmation bias and looking for information that supports our beliefs, it's good to challenge what we think and consider times when we have changed our minds.

One thing I changed my mind about this year is the belief that training and learning new things is always a good thing. For most of my career, I have been open to learning new roles, new systems, and new skills. While I am glad that focus has gotten me to where I am, I have now reached a stage where I am no longer interested in learning something new within the context of my main job and career. If I imagine my character in the health insurance IT world I'm in, I am going to spend skill points to max out the skills I already have rather than re-spec and start all over again.

This doesn't mean I'm against learning anything new. For me, it means being more selective about where I spend time and energy. I have lots to learn about being an entrepreneur and shifting from working for someone else to creating my own income. It is challenging to shift from a domain where I have mastery to a domain where I am a complete newbie. I feel like I'm venturing out of town in Act I of Diablo II, picking up all items (including white-text items) just to sell them and get some gold. You gotta start somewhere.
