Hi guys, I have a question for you. Where's the best place to learn accounting? I want to know bookkeeping and accounting principles. All this years I've been studying different subjects such as marketing and copy writing. But I have always ignored anything to do with math. Math was always my weak subject in school. So I held this limiting belief that I was just not good at math. That my brain was not wired for math. Now I think that's bullshit and I have come to enjoy solving calculations. And the more I think about it the more I want to learn accounting. It's the foundation of all businesses after all.

I'm thinking of going to community college and either get an associates 2 year accounting degree. Or a non credit accounting technician certificate which would take a few weeks to complete. But if you have any suggestions for any online schools for accounting I'll look into those.

Also while were at it. What are some good subjects to learn to run a business efficiently? I remember on an episode of shark tank Mark Cuban was telling a kid to go to college and not follow through with his business. It's ironic because he dropped out of college to follow through with his business. He told him that, because college would give him a more rounded business education. So what subjects would round out my education in business?
