Upgrade Your Survivor Skills

Lifeboy

Survivors of the zombie apocolypse need to exert caution with every step they take. They must not only learn to forage for food and destroy unrelenting bloodthirsty zombie hordes, but they must also develop skills to protect themselves against human scavengers. In seasons 1 and 2, Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) is one of the survivors who is incredibly afraid and unsure, choosing to follow the lead of Rick and Daryl (Norman Reedus) and other group members instead of standing on her own feet. But as the show progresses she grows stronger, soon becoming a fierce survivor who shows up for her group many times. One of the times she saved her group members is when they were captured in Terminus and were about to be killed. She shoot a firework into a fuel tank in Terminus causing an explosion and saving Glenn, Rick and others who were about to be slaughtered by the cannibals.

Similar survival instincts are necessary to survive the business world. When it comes to growing a lasting and successful business you become a survivor by becoming relentlessly curious, ever optimistic and always open to learning from past mistakes. Adaptability is also key. You must be able to adapt to changing situations, always prepared to pivot to a new direction and take a new approach. 4. Never stop learning — Members of The Walking Dead Maggie (Lauren Cohan) (far left) teaching the Hilltoppers background remove service how to throw knives in preparation for the war with Negan. Via AMC. Based on the evolving storylines of the Walking Dead, we can deduce that learning is an essential tool in surviving the zombie apocalypse. The survivors are continually learning new skills, but this is super apparent in season 7, when the Hilltoppers (one of the groups in Washington) learn how to use and throw knifes in preparation for the war against Negan.



These new skills pay off at the end of the season when Rick and other Alexandrians use their supreme knife skills to escape. If you want your business to grow, your learning should never stop. Stay inspired and motivated to continue to develop new skills and aptitudes and encourage (and support) your employees to do so as well.
