Invest in yourself and learn new things
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” -Dr. Seuss
My thoughts…
I worked for almost 13 years as a Flight Attendant and I decided to take a break when I had my second child. I want to stay at home with my kids while they are still young. Now that my kids are in school, I think that this is the best time for me to do something for myself. I feel like I want to learn something new since I have a lot of time when my husband is at work and my kids are in school.
I did a lot of research and readings on-line about jobs, changing careers, starting up a business and corporate world. I just made a realization about how the Digital World impact our lives. From fast-growing technologies, from different Social Media networks and how businesses were changed through Digital Marketing.
And my curiosity kicks in, “how does Social Media work in relation to businesses?”, “how does business works online, transactions, customer service and even advertising?”, “how do they make money with the Ads?”, and the lists goes on and on and on… I have also discovered that since we are in the Digital Age, there are a lot of job opportunities out there and it can be a home-based job as well. This a good starting point for people who wants to have a change in their career or to those who don’t know what career path to take.
Just imagine…
-Kids earning million dollars on their YouTube Videos, how did they do that, they’re just kids?
-One Tweet or a post on Facebook can change the lives of so many people
One comment or review on a business website can make or break them
-From a very young age to adults, they have their own gadgets, browsing the net or even playing games
I think this is more than enough reason to learn something new in relation to Digital World, Digital Marketing in particular.
My husband who is very passionate to study and learn new things introduced me to Udacity, an online school. I did my own research about it. Udacity is here to help and answer all these queries.

In the end, there will be doubts and questions if this a right path for you, the only way to answer is to try investing for yourself, learn something new that will open up all the opportunities that you are looking for. Keep on learning…
