Like I would always preach here, courses won't make you money by themselves.
Courses are only a means through which knowledge or information is transferred from one person to another.
It is what you do with knowledge you gain from those courses that makes the difference.
If you are still struggling to breakthrough despite taking many courses, it could be one or both of these two problems:
1. You haven't gained a certain level of mastery yet, or you aren't implementing your knowledge well enough to get the kind of results you seek.
2. The skills you are learning or have learnt so far doesn't align with your areas of natural strength, interest, or innate abilities — most people tend to struggle in ventures outside their areas of strength.
To fix problem 1, find people who have attained a certain level of success in the area where you are still struggling.
Follow them across all their social media platforms; study what they do and how they do what they do.
Success always leaves clues. If you keep tabs on them long enough, with time you will figure out the missing link to your puzzle.
Alternatively, if you can afford it, pay for direct mentorship. A hold-me-in-the-hand-until-I-succed kind of mentorship.
Sometimes, courses aren't just enough. You need a mentor's guidance and push to pull you through.
To fix problem 2, try and discover your areas of strength and tilt more towards skills that align with those areas.
To figure this out, you can use this ChatGPT prompt:
"I want you to act as a digital career strategist and skill-matching advisor. Start by asking me a series of insightful and personalized questions about my hobbies, interests, daily experiences, strengths, preferred learning style, past work or educational background, and long-term goals. These questions should help you understand my personality, lifestyle, and motivation so you can suggest the most aligned and profitable digital or tech skills I should learn.
Once you have gathered enough information from my answers, analyze my responses and do the following:
1. Recommend 1–3 digital or tech skills that best match my profile and have high-income potential, remote work flexibility, or long-term relevance.
2. For each recommended skill, give me:
A beginner-friendly step-by-step learning roadmap (tools, platforms, timelines, free and paid resources).
A practical beginner-to-pro roadmap, including projects I can build, communities I should join, and certifications (if necessary).
A clear and actionable monetization strategy, which could include freelancing, remote jobs, content creation, productizing services, affiliate marketing, or launching a small digital business.
3. Provide motivational tips and accountability strategies to help me stay consistent in learning and monetizing the chosen skills.
Ask all the required questions before giving any recommendations. Ensure that your advice is personalized, up-to-date, and focused on helping me generate income within 3–6 months if I stay committed."
Just copy this prompt, paste it on ChatGPT, and watch it does its magic.
Hope this helps.
