I know you are a busy person. But you cannot be busy helping others fulfil their dreams forever. At some point in your life, you will want to settle down, build your own business, your own legacy.
There are a lot of people who do not want to own a business. They know its advantages but they are not interested in starting a personal business for themselves. They are okay with managing other people's business and they are doing a great job.
However, for a few others who have a business that they wish to grow someday, why not start an online course that will help you learn more about the industry, the new ways of solving the problems you have identified and to stay current.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, I spent most of my weekends at conferences where guest speakers were invited to speak to the audience about business development. After the registration and transporting myself to the venue early so I could secure a nice spot at the front, the guest speaker will arrive late and after talking about himself or herself for 30 minutes to an hour, he will be interrupted or conclude his or her "teaching".
The moderator sometimes gives room for questions, but they always say these words:
"because of our time, we will give room for a few questions..."
I hate to hear that!
"Why did I come! If I cannot ask questions or learn from the challenges others are facing, why am I here?"
Your guess is right, I stopped attending some of these conferences and I focus on learning online.
The great thing about online education is that no matter where you feel you need to shore up your skill sets, there's a package of coursework that can help get you there. You just have to know where to look.
Some courses are paid while others are free. There are a lot of free courses with certifications. Like I said, you just have to know where to look.
LinkedIn, Google and some other platforms have free courses that your business idea can benefit greatly from.
It is time for you to build some business muscles, make online courses your tool.
All the best
