Freelance Success: Steps to Finding the Right Courses for You

And avoiding professional development pitfalls

Hi Friend,

Last week I wrote about investing in professional development. Today, we’re talking about finding the right courses for you and avoiding the pitfalls of too much professional development (yes, that’s a thing).

The professional development options are endless. Some courses are pure gold, others are a bit meh, and some are just shiny hype designed to boost someone else’s bank balance. What works wonders for someone else might not be the right fit for you—and that’s okay. The trick is finding the gems that’ll level up your skills, not someone else’s.

Finding the perfect course doesn’t have to give you a hippopotamus-sized headache. Here’s how to ensure you’re investing in the right learning experience to boost your freelance career.
