Continuing Education – The Vital Difference Online

What is surprising is that many people know the potential of the internet but often say it is too difficult or its only for the experts. I don’t understand HTML, I don’t know how to create a blog, I don’t understand what affiliate marketing is. All of these excuses are self defeating attributes. The real question should be I don’t know how to type HTML – Where do I learn?

The greatest advantages of the internet is that it provides the resources for people to self teach. Remember the example of Abraham Lincoln. Although he was born in a log cabin and lacked a lot of formal schooling he had a inquisitive mind and the ability to read. In his day books were the answer to self improvement. While reading is still one of the best ways to learn and self teach, the movement of time has brought us the technological wonder of the internet and more information than the whole of prior history combined. What does this mean? It means you don’t have any excuses for failing on the internet.

Many people believe that when they finish school or university that the majority of their education is complete. Nothing could be further from the truth. High School, Colleges and University only lay down the groundwork and tools. It is up to us what we do with that. The rest of life is the real learning curve.

It is the same principle with being successful on the internet. Even the gurus and experts still keep an open mind to learn what others are doing to be successful. Like any business is not only a case of knowing what your doing, but also what your competitors are doing.
