And another one is YouTube.

A lot of my

days spent on youtube or just using google because as an investor i have to find out what companies do and have to research management and learn these core competencies to understand industries the easiest way to do that just go on youtube and go like what is or subject explained and it comes up and it's it's such an easy way to learn something

And just circling back to the side hustle, I did a bit of undergraduate study in technology, but I didn't know how to build websites from my course.

I actually took it upon myself to go out and to watch tutorials online and do all that via YouTube, listening to podcasts, reading blogs, et cetera.

And those are some of the soft skills that you develop.

People always come to me and they say, I'm a finance person or I'm thinking of getting in, I want to write a blog, but I have no idea how to build a blog.

easiest way go to youtube and just find out yeah i would consider that that part of that hour of investing in yourself because that's a skill you're going to learn you won't show up on your cv necessarily but it's a it's a really good one what about in terms of employment like when people are thinking about their careers and and they want to become obviously valuable to their employer should people generalize or do you think adding some specialist skills in there

Yeah, I think specializing and even making yourself a more niche individual.

So maybe you're working in customer relations at a company but then you develop skills on the side in terms of creating content or sales and then you can start branching out in your company because often companies want to continue to employ their current employees and advance you and they're happy to work with you.

So if you're putting in time on the side to learn another skill set,

the company's happy usually to work with you to branch out to other areas.

So putting in work on the side is often a good way for you to change direction or build more skill sets in your current company and improve your job.

It's just coincidence, but I was listening to something that Charlie Munger, who is Warren Buffett's sidekick at Berkshire Hathaway, if you like, he was talking about specializing in certain fields.

And he said, you don't want to go to a doctor who's half proctologist and half dentist.

And it's true, right?

You want to go to the doctor because you want to get the right answer to the right question.

And it's the same way you should think about your position and your skill set, provided it's not something that maybe is going to be made redundant, which we'll talk about in a minute.

Yeah, you want to be the person at your company that everyone goes to.

If it's a question about X, Y, Z topic, everyone knows that you are the person to go to.
