How did your domaining journey start? Did you take a course or followed a specific set of people or joined interaction groups or something else?
I agree with you but sometimes, a course may provide direction in terms of what to learn and shorten the learning curve. That's where I feel it sometimes come handy.I wouldn't knock someone taking a course, but I really don't think its necessary. Bit like taking a course in crypto. If you're willing to read about what a blockchain is, how certain crypto's works, whitepapers, watch videos / interviews, keeping in tune with what's happening, engaging in a forum, network with the right people...if you have a genuine interest in this stuff you'll pay attention and soak it in
Maybe just me, but I find a course to be a bit of a dreary process, unless you of course benefit from a course, then hey...absolutely fine (down to the individual). Plenty out there to learn on your own, that's my only point. IMO
I agree. Can't deny that. But do you think if there were resources on what to read on NamePros or elsewhere, your learning curve could have been small?Namepros has been the greatest teacher.. organically teaching me as I went on.. introducing one tool at a time
That is a very fair point! I understand and see the importance of taking action vs taking a course.The world is in a course pandemic. A lot of people that have great potential are living in an endless loop of taking courses. It makes you feel like you are doing something but you are doing nothing.
If someone is on NP they probably took no course because the course crowd rarely ends up doing anything, they are busy taking the next course. Plus, if the course didn't show them step by step how to join NP, they might not have the confidence to try doing it themselves.
The same applies to people involved in stock trading. You will not meet any successful traders that had their start by taking a course.
If you are reading this and you are trapped in the course loop hell, please stop all courses and start doing. You will fail and make mistakes but you will get up, be stronger, wiser, and reach your goals a lot faster.
