I took this course for a while earlier this year, and it was massively educational. I highly recommend that you sign up for these free case studies ( I just did). Whether or not you sign up for ongoing training, that is up to you (not an affiliate link), but I do suggest that you give this free sample a chance.
Here are 3 quick examples of training areas that work in good times and bad:
* Right now, people realize that job security is an illusion. There’s never been more interest in starting up small and home-based businesses. It’s a huge training market that’s getting bigger due to uncertain economic times and general dissatisfaction with working for someone else.
* Technology is marching forward at a blistering pace. People need to be educated in software and technology tools for career changes and better productivity. The aging population needs clear instruction on how to do basic things that others take for granted. It’s a huge training market that’s getting bigger due to rapid change and the advancing age of the Boomer Generation.
* Personal development training is in high demand. Because basic needs are well satisfied in many Western nations, people are looking for more. They’re looking to the top of the needs pyramid, which is self-actualization. And due to the way our brains are wired, we value advice we pay for more than free and often untrustworthy information.
Those three huge training categories only scratch the surface of the potential. New opportunities for profitable paid training programs arise every day thanks to the relentless pace of change.
If you are interested on some Productivity Skill training, send me an e-mail (stephen @ hdbizblog . com) and we can talk about it.

Today I’m releasing my second ebook, called Productivity Tips: 10 Clever Ideas For Getting Things Done. It is based on my popular productivity tips series here at the blog, but expanded and improved for an ebook release. I originally started the series as a way of collecting all those random thoughts and ideas on becoming more efficient into one place. It’s often these small tips and tweaks - which don’t really form part of a fancy system or methodology - that make the biggest difference in your life. Seeing as a I recently published my tenth tip it seemed like an appropriate milestone to bring the collection so far together for an ebook.
I have read part one and it is excellent. Very concise and practical tips on getting your workflow together.
