I was first going to call this “vital entrepreneurial skill-sets,” but not everyone is an entrepreneur (nor am I), so instead, let’s call it Pro, which means someone that performs well in his or her profession

The rules of the game are simple. Come up with a single important area that a professional should master in order to do their job well. And add where (s)he should get that knowledge, for example a book-title, a website, a course, or otherwise. If this is specific to your job, add what you do.

Some examples:

Skill: Deductive ability – aka to analyse facts and come to conclusions
Good place to start: read Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes

or

Skill: Delegation – aka understand the job so well, that you can “outsource” part of it with clear targets to meet.
Good place to start: read Micheal Gerber’s The E-Myth Revisited.

I’ll start

Skill: Basic accounting
Good place to start: do a course at your local chamber of commerce; they are usually cheap and you’ll meet other people that you can learn together with.

You’re next! For every suggestion, I’ll come back with one of my own. I’m hoping to make this the most commented post in Tech IT Easy ever! Ambitious, I know.

Oh, and, KEEP IT FUN!
