In Yesterday’s post I talked about how education can be the best friend and the worst enemy to your business. Now before you think that I’m against educating yourself, I want to make myself clear. Education is Critical to building a successful business. But it’s important to be strategic and Find the Best Kind of Business Education.

So what IS the Best Business Educational System? The best education you can get is in The Doing. Actually running a business, making decisions and taking action will help you learn quicker than any “Guru’s” course ever could.

Have you ever wondered why McDonalds requires that you work there before you can own one? It’s a system of success. You need to work in a business to learn how to make it successful.

There’s a lot of people out there that don’t want to believe you have to do it to learn it. They have their sites too focused on the idea of the quick buck and easy money. They keep buying product after product thinking, each time, this one will be the Magic Bullet. But it never seems to happen because it doesn’t exist.

Now, while there may not be a Magic Bullet, there are shortcuts. Don’t buy anything thinking it’s a magical solution. Look for shortcuts, not magic.

So what’s an example of a shortcut? One example is to buy an already functioning business from someone else. Even if it’s just making $1 a month, that’s a great start! By running the business, you’ll get the best kind of education possible. It can often be better than investing in a course or educational product.

That’s just one example of a shortcut to success. What do YOU think are some of the best shortcuts to building an online business? Feel free to leave your ideas in the comments below.
