When I started my entrepreneurial journey I was very doubtful about how I would develop the skills. Because in the very starting, you cannot hire a team, you have to do everything on your own. I used to be so doubtful, questioning myself at every step.
It’s frustrating to learn things that you are not interested in like in my case I had no interest in marketing and since it is one of the very important aspects of branding, I had to do it anyway. At first, it was boring, I used to leave it in between but I noticed how it was affecting my daily targets, so I knew I needed to develop this skill.
I wrote about the benefits of learning marketing which helped me realise the importance of it. So, whenever I felt like giving up, I read these benefits and things that I would be able to do after I knew this. And this is not just for marketing, it’s for every skill that I don’t like or have interest in, it works everytime.
Secondly, It’s all about visual results, once we start seeing the results, things start to change. For example, once I started seeing how much marketing as a skill is benefitting me, I started to kinda like it. Now, to see visual results I began setting very small targets that I knew I can achieve like just getting 20 impressions on my ad. This helped me see visual results which motivated me to learn more.
These are the 2 techniques that works for me, I have tried many other methods as well like making someone my accountability partner etc but nothing worked so I have made my own techniques that help me stay motivated while learning new skills.
