Search the internet for online courses in your field of interest.
It is good to find a professional who successfully made it into the career you want to have, to see what path, or what qualifications they took.
Choose selectively, look them up and see what they have accomplished in their career. A huge advance of online courses is that you can select your teacher and get a chance to learn from true masters from across the world.
There are also some amazing education websites who offer online classes.
Here are a few to check out!
CreativeLive offers courses in Photo & Video, Art & Design, Music & Audio, Craft & Maker and Money & Design.
Skillshare offers courses in Design, Photography, Business, Film, Technology, Fashion, Music, Gaming, Culinary, Writing and more!
Udemy is an online learning and teaching marketplace with over 130000 courses and 35 million students.
YouTube is a fantastic platform for education.
Within any field of interest there are channels to be found that can teach you about the subject you are trying to learn.
Simply type in the topic in the search bar and select the YouTube Channel for you.
– Nail Career: If you want to get into nails (like I said, I did a quick random search to show how easy it is), this channel – given by a professional nail technical, covers everything about the craft of designing gorgeous nails.
– CrashCourse: A channel given by professional professors that covers Anatomy, Physiology, Astronomy, Government, Politics and Economics.
If you are more of a visual person, the use of learning through video is an excellent way to learn. Also, most of the time it’s done in a much more fun way than school.
There are millions of amazing podcasts out there.
Find the one in your niche! The Tim Ferris Show for instance is an superb podcast where Tim, the interviewer, deconstructs world class performances.
Go through his list of interviews and search for one that is relevant to what you want to learn. While listening, simply take your notebook or phone and write down all the valuable information.
There are shelves and shelves of books written by successful people who have made billions of dollars in their careers.
These books allow you to gain their experience, techniques and knowledge for a small price.
Buy them! And if you don’t like reading, well, simply buy the audio book.
Here is a great tip, and it’s what I do all the time: take a flashy marker and highlight the most important points in the book.
After you finish the book, go through the pages again and write those pieces onto a word document. If you’re listening to an audio book, do the same, but write it down in your phone or on a notebook.
The internet has given us the possibility to get in contact with just about everyone and anyone!
Find people who are doing what you want to do and send them an email or give them a call.
sTell them who you are what you want to become and let them know what value you can give to them.
Make them an offer to work completely for free for them. In return, you have the chance to learn about the craft and get to work closely with someone who has already made a success of their career.
This isn’t as easy as simply buying a book or downloading a podcast. This requires a well thought-out email and you need to come up with some real value that you can offer this other person.
Recognize what you have to offer and don’t give up on the first email you get a “no”, or no response at all from.
Long-term traveling taught me so many things that it would be ridiculous not to include it on here.
Traveling taught me to communicate with people from all backgrounds, beliefs and cultures.
It taught me compassion, how to be independent, to take action, to find my own voice and to use it to speak up for myself. It broadened my mind, taught me about the world and allowed me to see who I truly am deep inside.
While I can’t say for which specific job you should go and travel, I believe that traveling can teach something valuable to everyone, no matter what profession they want to do.
Working on yourself can be scary, overwhelming, confusing, messy, challenging, and lonely. On this podcast, hosted by Jellis Vaes, an aspiring clinical psychologist who once battled severe emotional struggles, you’ll gain valuable insights from experts in psychology, neuroscience, and relationships, as well as people like you and me, to support you on your mental health journey, help you feel less alone, and untangle some of the complexity of mental health.

Addiction is complex, deeply human, and often misunderstood.
In this episode, we take a grounded and practical look at what addiction really is and how it can be treated effectively.
I’m joined by Kevin Cornelius, a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical director at the Feeling Good Institute Silicon Valley.
Kevin specializes in TEAM-CBT, a powerful and evolving therapeutic approach developed by psychiatrist David Burns.
What I am hoping you get out of this episode, besides learning some of the reasons why people stay addicted, is that you will learn some practical techniques to start taking a small step toward freeing yourself from whichever addiction you might be struggling with.
If, after this episode, you’d like to learn more about the effects addiction has on the brain, do have a listen to the episode I did with Dr. Grisel, titled The Brain on Addiction.

Anyway, though stress certainly isn’t good for us, it isn’t the stress itself that is bad for us, BUT the way we VIEW the stress.
