What I Still Appreciate About Useful Online Education

I still appreciate useful online education.

At its best, it solves real problems quickly.

I recently had a problem in my business. What I have been doing for years just wasn’t working anymore.

My business had grown to a level where what I used to do was totally inadequate. Big time.

I got really overwhelmed because of it. I had to hire and help my partner with assistant work, which was not where I wanted to spend most of my energy.

I was having some issues with the assistant for my partner. They couldn’t keep up with her. She moves fast and a regular virtual assistant wasn’t cutting it.

I needed to hire someone better that could keep up with my partner.

So I did what I always did, the same hire process I’ve used for the past 5 years. The next person lasted 3 days before quitting.

And I thought I had a good hiring process: Topgrading, screening, interviews, and clear steps.

This wasn’t working.

I knew of a hiring manager but I didn’t want to budget for it just for an assistant.

So I looked for some help on hiring people online.

I found a video course on hiring. I bought it, watched the videos in less than an hour and implemented what I learned in another hour.

It worked. It was better than what I had. I’ve hired two people using the process.

I’m grateful for the help. It has saved my company a lot of time and money.

This was not something I needed to wait years to learn. A timely course solved a timely problem.

That is the part of online education I still value. When the teacher knows the problem, respects the buyer, and delivers a useful answer, it can save enormous time.

So thank you to the people creating relevant, honest, timely training that actually helps people do the work.
