At many points things evolve. When we talk of evolution scientifically, we refer to a process by which organisms change in form and structures from being less oriented to a higher intelligence level and that is why we have humans more intelligent than apes and other mammals of the primate family.

This also applies in business just as in any other field of live endeavors. With time, the ways things are done change and the need arises for you as a business man or a service provider to daily improve on yourself both knowledge wise and the skills you have in delivering your service.
Why this is necessary is because with time things get out dates and new means of doing them are being introduced to the system. People will prefer the new ways and if you are not up to date you will be left back in time as all others move with the trend.

If taking for example I own a shoo where we collect cash payments only. With the digitalisation of now and how things are getting improved most people prefer card payments and will not come to your patronage if you are not able to also evolve and accept such means if payment in your firm.
If I am a designer I must be up to date about the trends and what is the latest Design in town so as to actively deliver regardless of what the style needed is.
How do I keep myself up to date and get skills that help me keep up with the trend.

You can do this by regularly going to the bet and finding what the latest is. You can ask from people and fellow business persons and also you can see from the many social media outlets we have.
Then you simply see if you can personally learn the new thing's or adopt to them and if not you find a way to learn from someone.
What will you have to say about this? How can I know more and acquire up to date skills.

It is a very wise decision for business owners to try as much as possible to learn new things concerning their business and also new modern technology that will help them succeed more in their business. There are some certain business owners that do not look for ways to improve their business in terms of modernization and with the use of modern technologies .

Like you have stated above , if I am operating a factory the deals with the creations of handbags for ladies it is very important for us to check out modern styles and design that is mostly suited and that is adopted by ladies and creating this design will also help your business to move along based on the modern demands of the people.

A lot of people may choose not to operate their business in this way if it doesn't agree with their religious doctrine , well in this case I don't have a say.

The worse mistake a business owner would make is to assume they have all the skills and knowledge in their filed of business. Every day the world is advancing in terms of technology, knowledge and lots more. You need to keep learning and brushing your skills to meet up with the current generation. Let's take framing for example, there was a time where farmers had to rely on just their physical ability to achieve results, now there are advance technologies that can help increase production within a shorter period of time, farmers had to learn how to make use of these skills.

Learning a skill that will improve your business is a smart move. You can get better at what you do and expand into new areas without spending any capital. It's also a great way to ensure that you're constantly on top of the latest developments in your field and to sharpen your skills. Another advantage is that learning something new will keep you motivated and engaged. Here are five skills that you can learn to improve your business:
The ability to code might not seem essential for a business owner, but it's a very useful skill. It's also one that might open up valuable potential markets. A recent report found that 72% of small companies plan to increase their digital marketing investment in 2017, and are planning on hiring more marketing specialists. If you can code, then you could potentially develop an online marketing product without the need for external help.
This is an important skill for any business owner, because it shows how to think strategically and make smart decisions based on information and analysis rather than gut instinct or emotion.
