Skills & Knowledge

Growing ourselves necessitates developing our skills and knowledge. There are many ways of doing this, including reading, taking online courses, volunteering or shadowing in your field, and of course gaining experience by taking action and learning along the way.

There are a number of universally essential skills for anyone looking to start or grow a business or nonprofit – communication skills, leadership, decision-making, organization and productivity, critical thinking, creativity, and stress management. Other skills and knowledge may be more specialized to your chosen field or niche – things like website design, audio / video production, event organization, public relations, or trade skills.

Below you’ll find a number of great resources for developing your skills and knowledge, mainly through online courses. Remember to also seeking out opportunities in your local area, like volunteering in your field. For our book recommendations, see our Reading List.

What We Can Say

Have you ever asked a friend for their opinion on a legal, financial, or medical topic?

This is… somewhat like that.

We are not lawyers, doctors, or certified accountants, so we cannot give you legal, financial, or medical advice.

What we CAN give you is a carefully selected list of resources for finding those types of professional services along with many others. We can also provide our thoughts and insights on a wide range of topics related to businesses, nonprofits, personal growth, web design, and more – based on our experience.

Why We Can’t Guarantee

We cannot make any guarantees as to the results you may achieve through the products and services we recommend for the simple reason that we don’t know you!

Your results will vary and depend on many factors, including but not limited to your background, experience, and work ethic.

THE most important note – nothing that we promote or encourage on this site is a get-rich-quick scheme – can we all agree that success does not happen overnight? It doesn’t!

We believe it takes hard work, consistent effort, personal and professional growth, and compliance with legal and ethical practices in order to start and grow any source of income.

Please remember that all business entails risk as well as consistent effort and action.

How We Make Money

We cannot do this for free – but it won’t cost you extra either!

Some of the products and services we list on this site pay us a commission when someone signs up. Don’t worry – this does not cost you any extra, and we only include products and services we truly believe in.

Our mission is to help you get your business or nonprofit started and successful as quickly as possible, which is going to require various products and services along the way. We have curated this resource section to provide you with what we’ve found to be the best out there, though we may not be able to include every possible option here. In order to keep our site running and continue to offer guidance and resources to anyone seeking assistance, we partner with various businesses that we love and trust.
