Embarrassing Truth - Online Courses Put on the Shelf
I'll admit to something embarrassing: I buy a lot of online courses and mostly don't finish them. Now I know I should have done it differently. Why don't I finish the courses I buy and they end up on my shame shelf, next to business books recommended by friends? Am I the only one who has this problem?

I implement LinkedIn and Sales Navigator in B2B companies.

Some of them are long videos that could be summarized in a few sentences, uninteresting fragments that I don’t know how to skip and illusory support in deepening knowledge on dead Facebook groups or Circle.
A separate place in my private hell are cohort courses, which are always scheduled during the conference season, where I have a chance to participate.
However, I recently bought such a course, haven’t completed it (yet) but I’m already very satisfied with the results.
What changed? Recently I changed my approach during the last edition of “Zautomatyzowanych” (Automated) – I treated it like business studies type MBA.
Instead of focusing on completing all lessons, I concentrated on consultations and exchanging experiences with other participants.
It was these Zoom meetings where someone shared their problem and way of solving it that turned out to be most valuable and inspiring. A few simple tips from Adam or Grzegorz solved quite a few topics I was working on.
I don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
What was also surprising for me and gave me faith in myself was that some of my simple automations turned out to be interesting for others.
I definitely want to write that all instructors, program creators, but also participants were very helpful and super supportive.
thank you and I’ll be waiting for the next courses in this formula, I’ll probably approach them similarly.
How do you approach completing courses? A big pile of shame, or everything done on time?
