Thomas Sowell said, “It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.” As moms and momtrepreneurs it is important to continue to learn, strengthen your skills, and re-learn some old skills. Anyone else re-learning Algebra so you can teach your high schooler? Other than reading books, one of the best tools is online learning. You don’t have to drive to a class, and you can learn in your sweatpants. That’s a win-win.
