Improve Your Digital Skills – Why? The answer is because EVERYONE needs digital skills these days to make sure they can keep up with everyday life and activities. I can’t remember the last time I went into a bank because I can do everything on my computer, Ipad or smartphone. Amazon delivers everything you could ever want straight to your door and more high streets are slowing dying away. Nearly everything can be done online and the same applies to business as well. You can have a virtual meeting with anyone, anywhere in the world with internet access. If we have 3D printers now, just think about what we’ll have in 5 or 10 years’ time. We have to be ready.

Improve Your Digital Skills – The Future is Online Put simply, technology is taking over and we need to keep up in order to stay ahead. The future really is ‘online’. Skills such as scanning documents into PDF format, setting up an online/interactive white screen, screen sharing, using Skype and using cloud storage [such as Amazon Cloud or Google Drive] were totally new to me when I started my online tuition work. I had to ask questions, get advice and find a set of answers that fitted my needs and requirements. This took me a while and probably a lot longer than it should have done. The reason was because I doubted myself and I know now that I shouldn’t have done.

Improve Your Digital Skills – Are You Too Old? No, you’re not too old – you have experience. Entrepreneurial people know that learning is a constant, ongoing project. Investing in yourself and your digital skills’ improvement must always be an ongoing part of your progression into a life of freedom rather than just exchanging time for money. The internet is full of answers and information. Like everything else, there is the good and there is definitely the bad. But how often have you read an instruction manual and then resorted to looking for the answer on You Tube? I know I have. I once hired a carpet cleaner and the instruction manual was total rubbish. I went on You Tube and within minutes I’d found a full demonstration. Job done.

Improve Your Digital Skills – What Can They Do For Me?

Improve Your Digital Skills


The answer is that they will open up a world of opportunity and audience. Many individuals and businesses have developed their own online courses to create more value to their customers but also to get more income when you’re not exchanging time for money. This is called earning a passive income. There are dog trainers, photographers and yoga teachers who have done this and yes, whilst it takes time to create the course in the first place, once it’s done it’ll be the gift that keeps on giving. It will require time and effort but think about the opportunities it could open up. Udemy is just one place where you can set up your online courses. Improve Your Digital Skills

I am looking to develop into this area myself to provide more value to my private tuition audience so think about what your passions are, create a course and get some passive income streams going.

Life Hack Tip of the Day: Improve Your Digital Skills = Think Long Term There’s a reason why not everyone is as successful as people like Richard Branson, Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg and it’s not always just about the money either. It’s because most people just give up. Entrepreneurs do not give up when they come across obstacles and they don’t think short term. They also don’t put all their eggs in one basket or in other words, rely on one job like the majority of people out there. Success requires effort and work but you can get help. As Mother Theresa once said:

“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”
