Winning the Day was first brought to my attention in Mark Batterson's Bester Seller "Win The Day". And though there are many great takeaways there, I needed to figure out how to apply them to my life in a tangible way. That all changed with CourseCareers.

CourseCareers is an affordable online course that teaches its students all they need to know to land and perform in an entry-level position in fields such as IT, Tech Sales, and Digital Marketing.

If you follow my OmanahLand Blog, you know that I have set a few personal finance goals, and for each of them, I have decided to pick up a side hustle in sales. I signed up for the CourseCareers Introductory Course in Tech Sales to preparing. I found so much value there that I purchased the course, and though I had many doubts, they have all dried up.

Productivity

With the skills I have acquired from CourseCareers, I have created several workflows that assist me daily. One of the most critical workflows I have created for myself is the one I use during my "Dream Seeker Time". Since my goal in life is to become a full-time Creative entrepreneur. I have blocked off a 3-hour window in my Day where I work towards that goal. Since this time is short and precious, I must be more meticulous about what and how this block is best used to meet my needs.
