I recently accepted the opportunity to take learn about a business model via an online education course but I had no idea what the business model was, how it is implemented, and other small things others probably are aware of before taking a course.
Sure, the education course would probably give a brief rundown of the subject before delving further but I still wanted a baseline of what exactly I would be learning about. So I set off to research more about the model the course teaches.
Listening to instructional tutorials, utility application, and other specifics were sort of helpful but many of them were based around the idea that the listener had that base foundation of what the business model was and how it worked which didn’t help me understand it because those tutorials were a step above where my knowledge actually was.
So I decided to look up interviews about the person who created it and that helped me understand it a lot better. Interviews are a helpful resource because often the host will ask questions that are not too intricate but just a base response of what the subject/topic is, how it works, and the results of using it, and THAT was what I was looking for.
Tutorials from the source itself implies an understanding at any level about what is being taught but I was going in near clueless and thus needed to find a baseline knowledge entry point.
So my advice for if a topic or subject is confusing and the source tutorial/instructional pieces aren’t helpful? Try looking up an interview about the subject. The starting questions are surface and the replies should be easy enough to comprehend and to help get a better grasp of the concept and how it operates within its space.
