Wanna know why I said "Learning a skill and not using it is like smiling in the dark"? The truth about it is that No one sees it, and it doesn't make a difference.
As an online business specialist, I see this often. People spend time learning about marketing, web design, customer service, or some other skills, but then they don’t use their new skills. Having a skill and not using it, is like having a toolbox full of tools but never building anything with them.
Imagine you learn how to create websites. You spend days perfecting your skills. But if you don’t build a website, your hard work is invisible. No one benefits from your talent. Your business doesn’t grow. Your customers don’t find you.
Or maybe you learnt social media marketing. You understand how to engage with your audience and create great posts. But if you don’t actually post anything, your audience doesn’t know you exist. Your brand stays hidden.
Now, let’s talk about the financial aspect of this. If you learn these skills but don’t use them, it affects your finances. You might pay for courses, tools, or software, but without using your skills, you don’t get a return on that investment. If you did so as a business owner, your business won’t attract new customers, and sales won’t increase. You miss out on potential income.
Implementing or using what you learn brings your skills to life. Don’t just smile in the dark. Turn on the light. Show the world what you can do, market your skill and watch your business and your finances improve.
PS: For those that bought courses and refused to open it to learn. Biko open the course and learn.
You need to get returns on your investment.
