Starting for myself I actually decided to spend money on courses and coaching. The stuff I spent money on about getting better (e.g. facilitation or coaching) I have no regrets about. Money spent on business courses, I do have some regrets. In those cases I notice that for me it’s very important that there’s a match with the mentor or coach, or like you said ideally it’s about selling products similar to you. I’m learning on the way what works well for me and what doesn’t.
I just started my business but one year ago I took a lot of courses on marketing or how to define your niche, your product stairs … etc… since I couldn’t find what I really wanted to offer, I had the feeling, it brings me nowhere if I don’t know what to offer. Sunddenly in June, everything was clear and I invested again the rest of my money to get the WORKSHOPPER master method and combine this new skills with my experience and own skills. I thought at the end of the summer: “ why did I spent so much money in all these courses last year” but then I started my business in September and everything I’ve learned before could be used immediately and it was a huge difference than starting from scratch. So yes investment in our know-how, and skills and be part of community or mastermind definitely helps !
But only spend money for exclusive training will not do the work for you! Even with a lot of courses this is a lot of constant work. Since I do what I love, it don’t feel like works !
