Is this a bold statement?

More of a reality.

And here’s what I think is the main reason:

Students don’t want to be in debt. For many decades, we’ve seen millions of students go broke. Universities and colleges cost a fortune and what you learn there are not always things you can apply immediately in business and life. On top of that, knowledge acquired from these sources can become obsolete as things change faster than ever before. The society is changing, technology evolves, nothing stays the same.

Self-Education Is Becoming The New Norm

And here are more data and facts:

• Giant companies like Google, Costco, WholeFoods, Starbucks, or Apple don’t ask for degrees or credentials.
• The rise of platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, Coursera, CreativeLive, or Teachable where you can learn from others any topic, any subject, any profession, in detail.
• The rise of training programs like those included in our ELITE list. Programs created by industry leaders like Eben Pagan, Steve Olsher, Kevin Harrington, Jeff Walker, Dean Graziosi, and Tony Robbins, and so many more.

Robert Kiyosaki Is On Fire

In an interview with Dr. Patrick Gentempo and Robert Kiyosaki, Robert reveals that he quickly discovered that we are taught to get a degree, get a job, and work for money for the rest of our lives. But this was a road he would not follow by any means.

Robert believes that the “educational” system is responsible for the rise of socialism, communism, and fascism, and even anger against the rich. It happens because they don’t teach us about money at school.

My Journey

When I got started online back in December 2014, I’ve entered the self-education world without even knowing it.

I enrolled in training programs, I took independent courses, I’ve watched countless webinars, presentations, educational and how-to videos, I’ve been to seminars.

I’ve read 1000’s of blogs and articles and created 100’s of blogs myself.

I’ve subscribed to giant publications and followed industry leaders and experts.

I’ve read and studied emails and newsletters.

I’ve participated in forums, communities, and networks. I’ve discussed with other entrepreneurs, marketers, and partners.

I’ve read books like a maniac.

I’ve attended masterminds.

And still do, this is part of my everyday life.

In the last 5 years, I’ve learned way more than I did when I was at the University of Business Administration. 10x more, or even 50x or 100x. 

Why?

Universities are teaching important topics but without having an implementation plan. There’s no action. Without practice, you can’t forward in business, that’s for sure.

I’ve been at the top of the news and I watched technology change. I was an early adopter.

I’ve studied and continue to study anything related to business, marketing and advertising, sales, web design, human psychology, etc…

I’ve acquired new skills that are necessary to fuel my business.

I was able to transform a simple marketing blog into an agency and for the first time 1 and a half years ago, I’ve got a client in the local market.

And I have some good news to share today. I’m packing all this knowledge in our upcoming training workshops. We kick things off with the model of marketing publisher.

The New Movement

Ordinary people like you and I don’t seek out for professionals and college degrees.

They need skills they can use today in their business and life.

They seek advice from people that are active in their field and are successful.

They want to be part of a tribe, a community of like-minded entrepreneurs and students.

They need action and they need it now.

People are wondering…should I go back to college or stick with this job or let me go find somebody who’s already done what I want to do and pay them to condense decades of knowledge into days.

Impressive Statistics

Shiftelearning highlights…

It’s no secret that the training landscape has changed dramatically over the past ten years as eLearning and mobile technologies have gone from early-adopter novelties to mainstream essentials.

In 2011, 77% of American Corporations were using online learning (in 1995 this number was only 4%)

The eLearning market is now more than 13 years old (the word “e-learning” was coined in 1998).

Self-study e-learning (asynchronous) is on the rise now accounting for 15 % of all training delivered.

According to Forbes, E-Learning is the future. Market research firm Global Industry Analysts projected “E Learning” would reach $107 Billion in 2015 and it did. Now, Research and Markets forecasts show triple the revenue of 2015 – e-learning will grow to $325 Billion by 2025.

That’s nearly $1 billion a day. 

Don’t Get Left Behind

If you’re a student, if you just graduated high-school, even if you’re a retiree or an aspiring entrepreneur don’t wait one more day. Take your future in your hands.

Information is here and is everywhere. 

But, of course, not all resources are equal. 

And one more thing, even more important: you need to apply what you learn immediately, stay active, and you won’t fail. That’s a promise.

That’s it, another article has finished, here on Web Market Support. I am waiting for your comments and thoughts. Till next time.
