I said it before and I’ll say it again:

I really did not like school.

The structure? Hated it.

The curriculum? Felt like it was designed to kill creativity.

Every day felt like a reminder that this blueprint wasn’t made for people like me.

I always wondered who came up with this whole system, because it sure didn’t feel exciting.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I loved the social part.

Making new friends, cracking jokes, building relationships, that part of school was cool. That was me all day.

But when it came to subjects? Let’s just say my list of favorites was short.

I loved Home Ec, my mom and grandmother could burn in the kitchen, so cooking always felt like home to me.

I liked Typing class, too. Don’t ask me why, but it clicked for me. Fast-forward to today? That skill still serves me well.

English was alright. I didn’t love it, but I liked writing. It gave me structure.

But here’s the thing…

As much as I didn’t like school, I love learning.

Because now I understand that it’s not about traditional education, it’s about specialized knowledge.

What’s Specialized Knowledge?

Specialized knowledge is focused, relevant learning that’s tied to a specific skill, craft, or industry.

It’s not about knowing everything. It’s about knowing the right things.

The stuff that directly applies to your gift, your business, your calling.

It’s that knowledge that moves the needle.

Let me break it down:

• What are you good at?

• What do you love doing?

• Is there a market for it?

If you’ve got talent and there’s demand, then it’s game time. But here’s what most people miss:

Being good at something ain’t enough.

You can make the best wings in your city, but if you don’t understand the business behind it—you’re just cooking for friends, not customers.

You have to become a great entrepreneur.

That means learning what it takes to bring your vision to life:

• Understanding your industry

• Knowing your target market

• Learning the platforms that make you accessible (whether that’s Shopify, Kajabi, or Squarespace)

• Watching tutorials

• Studying marketing

• Investing in courses

• Improving your content creation

• Learning how to edit, post, and promote

This is the kind of education I can get behind.

Because it’s tied to what I actually do and what I’m trying to get better at every day.

So whether you paint custom hoodies, roast coffee, design logos, or write music, learn the business behind it.

You can’t earn if you’re not willing to learn.

So I’ll leave you with this:

Learn, baby, learn… so we can earn, baby earn.
