Why learning new skills is good for you and your business
Online learning is an effective way to boost your business skills. Enterprise Nation e-learning manager Roisin Skinner shares five reasons why learning something new is great for you and your business:
When running a business, your time is precious. Accessing learning in bitesize chunks gives you the information you need quickly so your time is spent more efficiently.
When you have learned something new, it changes the connections in your brain and helps to keep it strong and healthy.
Learning a specific skill, such as creating a cashflow forecast, helps your brain to focus purely on one task which acts as a form of mindfulness. This is a benefit for both you and your business.
Discovering something new can be a great way to help you achieve your business goals for the year.
As part of the Amazon Small Business Accelerator e-learning programme, you can connect with Enterprise Nation advisers that feature on the videos which will expand your business support network.
