I have been self-employed for close to 30 years. I have had multiple businesses, some I stayed in for too long and some I may have quit earlier than I should. I am looking to spread some knowledge, but need specific questions so that I can answer them truthfully and show you what could have been done differently. Basically I want to use the knowledge I have gained to show you how not to do it.
If you could focus more attention on one thing over the other two, what would it be?: School/Education, Networking, or Diversifying Skillsets?
wrong question. You should focus on the things that are working and making a profit.
How is it a wrong question if I am asking about you in particular, it isn’t for me. Simplified: Which one of these three do YOU attribute to most of your success?
Edit: There are many ways to make something work, whether it is theory, practice, or both. And, there are many ways to make a profit through diverse types of intelligence.
This is an entirely subjective question aimed at you, one’s success is subjective and there’s no cookie-cutter way to success.
Continuing education is always important, I never stop learning, This is one thing that works for me. Diversifying skillsets is the same as continuously learning.
Networking is always important, the more people you know, the more people will know about you. but networking is a skill that must be learned.
