But Wait, why we are talking about it? because you are not “any company’s employees.” Right? You are an entrepreneur or about to become one and it’s in your DNA to go above and beyond. Because of coronavirus, all over the world prefer isolation. In India, the government has locked down the county for the next 21 days. It means, you have plenty of time and I’m sure you want to use this time. So why not start using it to learn some new skills.

With the help of data, you can understand the customer’s needs, which can take your company to the next level. Also, payroll is very great, according to indeed.com, Data Scientist has a salary of around 112.957 dollars. To learn this skill, you need to learn python or R, NumPy, MATLAB, and excel. If you want to go in-depth, you have to learn ML (machine learning).

But what about Spanish or Chinese investor, who doesn’t know English at all. At the time, you are going to look for a translator. My advice for entrepreneurs, don’t look at them instead learn a language, which helps you a lot while interacting with investors or clients. You can choose several educational platforms or an online coach to learn any language.
