If there was ever a time in life where you could spend time discovering, growing and learning new skills and talents, it is now. Join Neil today as he explains the importance of continually growing and learning, no matter how qualified you already are. Learn why investing in yourself is the best investment there is, how the past year has proven that nothing ever stays the same and why learning new skills can open you and your business up to more and more opportunities.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Commit yourself to continual learning and growth. Lockdown is an opportunity to learn new skills and adapt to the new normal. If you haven't already, you can set aside time to learn new online techniques to enhance your tutoring business through this new lockdown. The last year should have been a wake-up call to all of us: nothing stays the same, we must change too. Set the time aside, every single day
When you keep on learning you collect new ideas and stir them into the pot of what you already know.
You can learn to synthesise new ways of teaching and doing what you do and this can help to open up new opportunities for you and your business. You grow, you try stuff, you become better.
Invest in yourself, it is the best investment there is. It’s not a cost, it’s an investment. Buy the books, take the courses, listen to the lectures, watch the videos. You can do it while you’re doing other stuff like cooking, driving or exercising.
Remember that many training and education costs are deductible expenses and can be offset against your business profits – provided you are not starting out in a totally new field, but are adding to something you already do in your business.
BEST MOMENTS
“In-field and out of my field – every day is a school day”
“Maybe it’s in your field of expertise, maybe it’s outside”
“In my imagination I’m Indiana Jones”,
“that was a massive learning curve”
