Today we’re breaking down the difference between in-person education (think: conferences, workshops, educational meet-ups, etc.) VS. online education (think online courses, virtual membership groups, etc.)
Whenever it comes a time in your business where you know you need to invest in your business through education, a question that typically comes up is what should I do first? Or even in this season? Should I take an online course? Should I join an online membership? Or should I look for in-person events like workshops or conferences?
Today we’re diving into the differences between in-person vs. online education, the pros and cons of both, and which YOU should focus on and consider depending on where you are in your business!
Online pros
- Allows flexibility in timing/consumption. They are often self-paced, where you can go at your own speed.
- Ability to revisit and review the material and refresh at any point in time.
- Instantaneous to purchase.
- Don’t have to get dressed up or go anywhere. Learn in your PJs from the comfort of your own home.
- Great for work-from-home mamas or people with 9-5 jobs or students. There is more flexibility with it and the biggest benefit to online education.
In-Person Pros
- Meeting community, building relationships and gaining connections with people around you. One of the most powerful things with in-person education and events.
- NETWORKING, getting in the room, and meeting people you look up to and might not have ever met otherwise.
- In-person education forces people to get out of their comfort zone more so than online. Getting out of your comfort zone and doing something a little intimidating, can be the catalyst that creates the growth and momentum you need for your business.
- Experiencing events gives you something you just simply don’t get online space and the energy in the room is sometimes the magic sauce that you need to kick you into the next level.
- You get more time with that investment than you do with an online course. For example, if you are investing in an online course it might be three hours of online education, but if you are going to a conference or workshop you are getting three days’ worth of education.
Which is for you???
Based on what we said, what’s resonating with you more??
Are you eager for the in-person energy, connection and networking opportunities, and the chance to get out of your comfort zone and have a powerful life experience?
Or are you needing more flexibility with schedule, pacing, and time to pause when life or work demands?
In the first case, you’re probably ready for some in-person education! (Examples: a workshop or a conference!) In the second situation, you’re probably ready for some online education such as an online course.
There are pros to each type of education and we’re both HUGE fans of BOTH! It just depends so much on what YOU need for YOUR business in THIS season!
