Or going to the library and getting a few books on different topics that you would never think about reading otherwise.
Mm-hmm.
So it's so easy nowadays, I think, even with the internet.
There's so many online courses and it doesn't mean a $2,000 uni subject.
Udemy, Khan Academy, Skillshare, they all have really cheap $20, $30 you can learn from someone who's an expert in whatever their area is, whether that's bread making, playing the ukulele or Pythagoras Theorem.
And it's all on there and you can actually learn from people's experiences and grow.
And it doesn't have to be the area that you're working on in your career.

You might be trying to improve in music and you're in law, just anything like that.
It's just growing your ability to learn and developing your skill sets.

how to sell a product or how to write copy or how to getting and talking to people in your community and things like that and even volunteering you learn a lot of skills as well and so if you're doing whether it be an online course you're actually getting out and doing something in your community you're just building those skill sets and you might not even realize
You mentioned Card Academy just before.
That's a free resource online and you can get it on YouTube or you can go to their website.
And I used that website when I was studying postgraduate business analytics.
And I found that the free courses on YouTube were better than the lecturers at my university.
And that's a free resource, right?
