In a climate of tight budgets, reduced workforces and stiff competition, internal training can be a great substitute for costly offsite workshops and conferences.

A great accomplishment shouldn't be the end of the road, just the starting point for the next leap forward.

I've known entrepreneurs who were not great salespeople, or didn't know how to code, or were not particularly charismatic leaders. But I don't know of any entrepreneurs who have achieved any level of success without persistence and determination.

As competition is reduced, prices go up. You will be able to get where you are going, but it will cost more.

The harsh reality of reduced budgets and the uncertainty of the economic and geopolitical climate are weighing heavily on business confidence, causing key projects and the corresponding IT spending to be delayed.

There is no substitute for training, no matter how you slice it.
