One of my favorite ways to challenge myself is by obtaining a new skill or trade.
Taking online courses was beneficial for my self-esteem since I was learning new things that I would most likely remember for all of my years. If anything; I had brand-new things to add to my resume forever.
I made extra income already at the time in sales and event planning so did not necessarily need an extra hobby or job. I did need to do something for myself however if that makes sense.
I will admit; I did not take it seriously at all. I was stressed at the time at far bigger things I felt. The company was so helpful and never bugged me about turning in quizzes or projects. I was able to learn and train at my very own pace. That was a huge relief.
Part of my anxiety of not going to school…even online courses; was deadlines or failing. With these courses; it is more like an online trade school. I did it for fun, to learn new skills…and to start a business doing what I truly enjoyed.
My jobs in sales I had over the years were great learning experiences for me. However; deep down I wanted to grow as a person and challenge myself far more. Without a doubt; I defiantly needed to go back to school just to help keep my mind busy and off stressful things more.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with normal colleges and universities. That is just not for everyone. Or perhaps not the right timing. Some people just want something to do alongside being a stay at home mom. Many are just curious about learning a new business skill.
