2 Minute Action

Just because they didn’t teach you something in school doesn’t mean you can’t still learn it now, or that it’s not now your responsibility to learn it.

Take 2 minutes to review your answers to these questions and consider the steps to teach yourself what you never learned in school.

It could be that you need to go for an MBA, a class on contract negotiation, or even just find a few good YouTube videos.

It only takes 2 minutes to start.
