This is inspired by @Andy Black 's post today, You don't need to be an expert.
A lot of people waste time with a false sense of progress by learning skills they might not even need. Every single business is different, and no two businesses will need the exact same set of skills. This is something Im learning while starting my business.
So this comes to answer the questions, Should i learn copywriting? Should I learn to code?
And im not here to say its a good or bad idea to learn a skill or not. What I am saying is when you find a need to solve, you will know what you need to learn, when you need to learn it, and how much of it you need to learn. Everything is a process, figure it out as you go. When you run into a obstacle while starting a business, like having to write copy or build a website, figure out what the best option is and move forward. Be it learn it or outsource it, whatever it may be. Stop trying to prepare for everything.
Its a false sense of progress to learn skills you may not need. Solve a need and move forward.
