Kolkata, West Bengal : Shreya, an entrepreneur from Kolkata since her college days, believes that education and learning is a continuous lifelong process. She is highly ambitious and strives to curate proficiency by staying updated and never scares to ask a question, offers her guidance, and is eager to accept feedback. With her skills, quick decision-making ability, and vision of statement-making she is now one of the successful entrepreneurs of Kolkata.
Her entrepreneurial expedition began right after completing college in 2017 with her business partner and friends. Initially, without job experience, she made a lot of mistakes and learned from them. She is now running four businesses – 2 digital marketing agencies, a fashion brand, and a cloud kitchen. Her self-directed learning has shown significant growth.
As Shreya Says: “It’s not that I know more than you, I just use Google better than you. I am open to learning new kinds of stuffs. You cannot achieve anything all of sudden if you want to taste success you have to think creatively, and out of the box. A successful entrepreneur always chases behind innovative ideas and avoid committing grave mistakes. You cannot be consistent; you have to look for new challenges and have to defeat them to be successful. I have got a great team who is very passionate about work and great problem solver.”
To be successful, you need to efficiently communicate with yourself, understand your importance, know your weakness and work smart to taste success. Self-directed learning is something you learn by yourself – either from your mistakes or from browsing the internet.
So, how to improve your self-learning skills?
Self-curiosity is the key to improve and brush up your self-learning skills. Gradually, when you start to inquire or question-why, how, when, on some topic, you are widening your knowledge, empowering yourself which will convert you into a creative thinker.
Stop procrastinating! Adjustments and alterations are the law of life. To grab all the opportunities for growth and success, you have to come out of your comfort shell and adapt yourself to change. Embracing challenges and working towards them is the best way of self-directed learning.
