Essential Subscriptions for Self-Improvement as an Entrepreneur

No entrepreneur can become successful without an appreciation for active self-development. Entrepreneurship requires tremendous self-discipline, mental toughness, persistence, tenacity, and patience. Consequently, there are various avenues one can explore to keep learning and to develop themselves as an entrepreneur.

Dimensions of Entrepreneurial Self-Development

I believe that personal development for an entrepreneur involves two interrelated dimensions:

Business Skills Development

The first dimension is the business skills development side. Whether you are an experienced business owner or completely new to business, there is always a need to improve your business knowledge and skills. Continuously attending workshops, webinars, and courses can significantly enhance your business acumen. Some essential subscriptions include:

Udemy - Offers a wide range of courses on various business skills Pluralsight - Ideal for tech-savvy entrepreneurs

Social and Soft Skills

The second dimension is often overlooked and involves improving soft skills, which have to do with mindset and life skills. Examples of these include:

Self-motivation Improving mental focus Patience Determination Self-leadership

Developing these skills is crucial for maintaining a positive mindset and achieving success in both personal and business ventures.

A Holistic Approach to Self-Mastery

This holistic approach to entrepreneurial self-development is the foundation for achieving self-mastery. If you can learn to master yourself, you can learn to master your business. Both of these will add up to success.
