You know a great advice is working hard and doing something that you know will actually benefit you. It's kinda vague when people tell you work on skills to build a better you, I would argue don't work on skills that are of no value to you or will provide any sort of meaning then whatever is leftover work on that.
Usually people are like "oh there's too many skills to choose from because I want to work on all of them, to better myself".
Internet has that effect unfortunately. Especially younger people who are just starting out and want to make money online, have their heads spinnig. Facebook ads, dropshipping, AM, FBA etc. Instead they should be focusing of cultivating broad skills.
Sells.
Marketing.
Ads.
Writing a structured post for fuck's sake.
Instead they buy a $99 course about designing a sick website, that no one will EVER visit.
I wouldn't blame the internet, it's a place of opportunities if you know where to look. Younger people usually don't know where they want to go in life, because they don't want to be stuck doing a job they're going to hate for the rest of their lives.
My motto would be just go with flow, nowadays you can make money or career out of anything really.
True. Internet can free you and enslave you, like everything else for that matter.
