I am looking to learn a new skill for the next 2 months until I start my new job in December(tech sales).

And I'm unsure what skills to learn, I believe coding will not be worth the time for me.

So what other skills are worth pursuing to start a 6 figure business in 2023?

What industries would you look into and what would be needed to learn in order to succeed in starting a business in that space?

I think your two threads are basically the same question, aren't they? You want to find a problem to solve, but at the same time you want to know what skills to learn - and I don't think there's much difference. When you find a problem that needs solving, then you look at whether you have the skills, or can acquire the skills, to solve it. If not, move on to the next one. Limiting yourself to two months to learn a new skill seems a bit ambitious to me, though I guess it depends on what skill you decide on.

Sure i guess that's true.

Well, it's not that I'm limiting myself to 2 months. But currently, I have 2 months of total free time and nothing to do. So I would be a great time to start

You're starting a tech sales job. Forget other skills. Get good at this one skill and it can carry you far in business. Read as many books as you can on sales. There are many of them.

I'm just starting out on reading this topic so I'm limited in my recommendations.

Two that I know of:
1. SPIN Selling
2. The Feldman Technique

Tons more of course, just the two I know.

1. Choose an industry that you're interested in. If you are interested in none, then get interested. Running a business in an industry you are not interested in will just make you miserable.

2. Number one skill is to learn consistency. Choose one thing and stick to it. Practice daily.
