I can’t overemphasize the importance of learning. In short, knowledge could open new doors to you. I learn by reading books (especially non-fiction books), observing people, and taking courses online (especially the free versions). I have interacted with so many successful people and what I know for sure is that we (adding myself to the group) all share an interest in learning. If you don’t enjoy reading books, you could watch videos on youtube or listen to podcasts.
If you are searching for free online courses, there are actually so many options to choose from but here are a few good places to look first.
1. Coursera:
The free courses cover health care, the arts, finance, and technology. I found a few courses that I liked and I believe I would be completing at least one of them in the coming weeks. I would share a review of that process after I am done.
2. LinkedIn Learning.
3. Alison
I was surprised to find out that Alison.com has about 1,350 free online courses to choose from, and I think that’s just incredible.
