The Best Skills to Learn as a Fastlane Entrepreneur

[Mikkel]

There are plenty of threads about which books you should read, but these books span the gambit of different topics. If you ended up reading each one of these books, you'd be mediocre at many of these skill or incredibly knowledgable with nothing to show for... because you spent all your time reading with no action. Anyways, you always hear people saying, get good at 1 or 2 things and hire people to do the rest.

My question to you Fastlaners is this, what skills have you learned that have proved most beneficial for you?

For myself, I have taught myself branding and social media in my spare time to help build large followings on social media platforms.

Pros: One of many techniques to get eyes on your company/product.
Great way to interact with your customers/followers.
Branding is incredible important when trying to help people envision what your product will help them do, the lifestyle they can live etc.

Cons: You need PLENTY of other skills to sell a product. Simply having a social media account will not bring in money. You need to provide value and make sure your customers know that.


Some ideas that I have heard are:
Writing copy
Coding
Learning about stocks
SEO
AdWords
Etc.


Now the list above is not necessarily the best things to learn, but rather examples.

What skills do you find useful to help you succeed?

I hope this will thread will surface some skills that people may have not though of previously. This is not meant for someone to learn all the skills listed but rather choose what may be most beneficial to them, so they can hone in their skills on one or two things.
