Covid-19 is changing business, work and life as we know it. For many of us in lockdown, it appears we will be stuck at home for some downtime, provisionally putting a stop to our busy, social and professional lives. It can feel like Covid-19 has put the world on hold as we wait for release from temporary imprisonment.
Nevertheless, it’s not an excuse to give up on your career nor your entrepreneurial dreams. Now could be an opportune time to learn a new skill or simply expand your knowledge from the comfort of your home. Whether it is to boost your career or to grow your current business, learning a new skill can help you to achieve your professional goals and make your time in quarantine as constructive as possible.
It makes sense to devote a proportion of your quarantined time to self education to support your career during these uncertain times. Throwing yourself into an online course can give you a sense of control to soothe any anxieties during the pandemic.
Taking an online course also demonstrates a truly entrepreneurial mindset, by adapting to new environments and continuing to develop and learn. With new and readily available content on digital platforms, there’s no excuse not to go for it!
