David’s Answer

One way of looking at this is determining what your unique talent stack is and what skills might be needed for whichever career/life trajectory you are looking to achieve. It's helpful to take an assessment of what skills you believe you are proficient in now and which you think will help you advance further. Some skill sets such as persuasion and effective writing may not seem applicable to certain fields, but are ones that more often than not will be useful and can make you a standout with complementing your existing skill set.

Seifeldin’s Answer

1. Develop Your Skills
Improving your skills doesn’t always mean investing in higher education, though that’s surely an option, and perhaps a necessary one depending upon your career field. Investing in your knowledge and skills can take many forms.

In addition, expanding your level of knowledge and skill isn’t limited to the business arena and doesn’t necessarily need to be formal. There are many “skill investment” avenues.

Advance Your Education
Extra classes, advanced degrees, and relevant certifications, are all valuable investments. Take classes, either in person or online. (Lifehack also offers different online courses that help you to break free from your limits.)

If you’re interested in getting ahead in your career, this may be a great place to start to invest in yourself as extra skills will open more doors. Set goals around your education and start investing time in research.

Utilize Available Training
Enroll in workshops, attend conferences, or participate in webinars. Many of these are free for participants, so take advantage of them as often as possible.

Expand Your Knowledge
There’s a lot of information available on nearly any subject imaginable. To invest in yourself, read books, peruse articles, watch TED talks or YouTube videos…anything related to the talent or skill you want to work on.

Keep Current
Stay up-to-date on the latest trends or advancements. Subscribe to publications, read blogs of experts, and follow the latest news.

2. Explore Your Creative Side
There is a fountain of creativity within most of us that has never been tapped or certainly hasn’t been used to its highest potential. We may need to unearth and hone our individual creativity by learning a new skill or spending time on something that brings us joy.

Creativity in any form helps us to grow personally and professionally, to view problems and solutions in different ways, and to utilize other parts of our mind that may have been previously untapped. It’s important to keep in mind that creativity has many faces. It’s far broader than being a painter or sculptor; it’s also about trying new things.

3. Nurture Your Mind and Body
Nurturing both your mind and body allows you to have more to give now and in the future—more energy, knowledge, compassion, ideas, strength, and physical and mental endurance.

Sam’s Answer

Paul, this question is remarkable. It's important to do a self evaluation to see what approach you should take, and what to focus on. Questions you should ask yourself are

1. What am I good at?
2. What could I be better at?
Once you have the answers to the two questions above, find a youtube video, read a book, or ask your peers/parents how you could develop these skills. Focus on what you're good at - lets call these your "Strengths". Focus on your strenghts to make them even stronger - this will make you stand out from the crowd.
4. Who do I know that could help me develop myself?
Asking other people with experience is a very important piece to developing your skill set, as they can coach you on certain things.

Never stop being hungry for knowledge, and learn about everything you can - this will take you far.

Cody’s Answer

This is a great question! I would spend time thinking about what your interest and talents are. Even think about classes you have taken in school and think about what subjects were enjoyable learning. From there, you can sign up for other classes and even school groups that are relevant to your interest and strengths. Also look into volunteer or work opportunities in your area that would allow you to gain experience and exposure to the related subject.

Yumi’s Answer

Keep learning. Once you identify the area of your interest, there are many ways to learn. Some costs money, others could be free. Select a specific topic that you would like to learn and assess the best way to learn. If you want to gain a fundamental knowledge of something, free seminar or continuing education program in your town could be a great way to lean on a most cost effective way.
