At Thanksgiving time, everyone thinks about being grateful and sharing, and I am no different.  I produced this free list for my students, customers and loyal followers who want to continue to learn.  I know that everyone that reviews this information will get tremendous help and value, and ideally, something meaningful develops for you by using the top 50 free resources.

These top 50 best free websites 2011 and resources are all FREE sites.  Free Skills.  Free Tools.  Use them every day to grow yourself or your organization.

Let’s start with a quick lesson and a quick footnote on blogging.  When it
comes to blogging and posts and a blogs structure like headlines, redundancy
seems to be the hallmark in order to maximize your post, your search engine
optimization and your keyword density. Sometimes the best way to getting the message through loud and clear is also to repeat it and revise it subtly, because saying the same thing different ways clicks with some people better.  You will find this post to be true to this footnote for the reasons just mentioned.

“Originality is the art of concealing your source- Thomas Edison

Before I go further, I recognize that all readers may not know me or know anything about me.  When you learn a little about me, you will understand why this list about free resources, these categories and why this list will appeals to my customers and any
employee, manager or entrepreneur, basically anyone wanting to learn new skills.

Here’s a little about me…and I’m not just another pretty face.  My name is George Napoli and I’m a little older and part of the new 40 generation.  I’ve been passionate about entrepreneuring since 1989.  10 years later I had 450 employees and I was
fortunate to sell my business to my Executive Management Team.  In my three year employment agreement before the sale was completed, I initiated a new learning initiative called Insight Career and Professional Development.

Between that program and my online boutique specializing in free coaching
for inventors and entrepreneurs in growth strategies for new business
development, I have trained and coached thousands of employees, managers,
inventors and entrepreneurs in Leadership Training, Six Sigma, New Business
Development and a wide range of subjects, core disciplines and life changing
skill sets like innovation, thinking and creativity.  I thought I retired in 2008, more on this in the entrepreneur category.

In an era of quick decisions, push buttons and scrolling bars, some people like to scan and read the headlines only for their content.  The top 50 list can easily be scanned by

Top 50 Best Free Websites 2011 Skills And Performance Tools- Power of the Web

It’s easy to forget these days that the web started out as a place for academics and
researchers to trade data and knowledge.  Recapture the web’s brain-expanding potential with our free resources for educating yourself online, learning new skills and
using internet performance tools.

By now you may be asking why we chose- learn new skills and internet performance tools from all the possible subjects available?  And why emphasize employees and entrepreneurs as our target listeners?  In an era of a shrinking economy, 401k’s
reduced to 201k’s and record unemployment levels, people need to become more
self reliant-which drives the entrepreneurial spirit.  That covers why we chose entrepreneurs.  Employees and Managers need new skills to compete in the job market, to perform better and to grow personally and professionally and they need them to run and manage the business they were hired for. That’s why the top 50 list is geared to them as well.

Universal World of Entrepreneurs

Statistics tell our story and these facts don’t lie.  In the Universal World of Entrepreneur’s and Employees, where everyone of us resides, less than 5% of all business owners and managers have all the skills necessary to run or manage a successful business. On the other side of the same coin, that means 95% of employees and entrepreneurs need to enhance their knowledge and skills.  Every one of us competes in this Galaxy no matter what their profession or business.  They include a cast of colleagues and competitors we like to call:  Rising Stars, Fast Trackers, Existing Talents and Wannabe’s.  You can read all about this Galaxy on our blog.

With so much emphasis on consumers becoming self reliant for their own economic well being, it’s important to note that never before in the history of our country, has it been easier for entrepreneurs to start a new business.  Today, entrepreneurs can launch a small business faster and with less upfront capital than ever before.  This is especially true with the explosion of the internet.

The five categories we chose gives all consumers and especially employees/managers and entrepreneurs, the most focused selection of educational skills and performance
tools, with the widest range of utility for success in learning and growing
personally and professionally, for achieving business goals, enriching lives
and improving life styles.  Growing from a Wannabe or Existing Talent to Rising Star and Fast Tracker, should be everyone’s aspirations, and it is certainly within everyone’s reach The top 50 best free websites for 2011 have two dimensions to them.  Some are skill  driven, for knowledge and learning, the others are tool driven for increasing
performance.  They can be used for everything from learning to be a successful entrepreneur, becoming a top performing employee, or for anyone looking to enrich their lives and life styles through learning.

Learn New Skills staff believes it’s a COMBINATION of SKILLS and the most effective “USE” of PERFORMACE TOOLS that will help you grow personally and professionally, and help you become more successful as an online or offline-business bar none.

Before we introduce our 50 candidates and our 5 first place winners let’s take a deeper look at what exactly a skill is and what exactly a tool is, since we use these terms throughout.  It’s important to know and understand the difference between them.

Skills–  (sk

l) n.

1. Proficiency, facility, or
dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience. See
Synonyms at ability.

2.

a. An art, trade, or technique,
particularly one requiring use of the hands or body.

b. A developed talent or ability,
something you learn: writing
skills.

Tools  (t

l) n.

1. A device, such as a saw,
used to perform or facilitate manual or mechanical work.

2. A machine, such as a
lathe, used to cut and shape machine parts or other objects.

3. Something regarded as
necessary to the carrying out of one’s occupation or profession: Words and content are
the tools of our trade.

4. Something used in the performance of an operation; an instrument: “Modern democracies have the fiscal and monetary tools . . . to end chronic slumps and galloping inflations” (Paul A. Samuelson).

 It’s like Magic!!!   And the most important thing to remember…using skills and the right performance tools in combination- is like MAGIC!!!

In our opinion, knowledge comes first, than skills.  And when it comes to skills
and tools, skills out-trump tools every time.  That’s being loyal to our company name: Learn New Skills.  However, when the right high level performance tools for either being more effective, or for online marketing are used effectively, it’s the tools that win and keep you ahead of the competition.  Here is an example of what we mean when we
say- using new skills and tools “in combination” is like MAGIC!.

Top 50 Best Free Websites 2011: Skills And Performance Tools- Like Magic

“Using skills and performance tools in combination is like Magic!   I will relate it in a short story.

I’m playing golf one day in a major local charity outing and one of the prizes is a $350 ticket to a magic show, that if won, would be brought right to your home for you and your friends to enjoy.  I love magic.  I keep searching for the kid within, so I buy
three tickets for a good cause, and place two tickets in the magic show box and
one ticket goes in the hopes of winning tickets to the Yanks vs. The Sox.

Later that evening I learn that I was the winner to the magic show.  So I’m
sharing my story with a friend about winning, and telling my friend how much I
love magic, and that I’m thinking about stopping by the local magic shop to buy
some magic tricks.  Maybe develop a new hobby to entertain myself and close friends.
He laughed, though I didn’t think that it was a particularly funny statement.  It was his comment after the laugh that got me.  His comment brings everything to light.  He said “you can buy all the magic tricks, props and tools you desire, but at the end of the
day, you will never be a magician.”  That is what we call a teachable moment and what we mean by knowing the right skills and using the right tools together…it’s like magic- you become a MAGICIAN!

“Success is never final and failure is never fatal”

When it comes to learning, the best lesson of all is to learn that we need to change our one dimensional orientation towards goals, to a dual-dimension.  When we have a single orientation towards goals like success, the trouble is, once we become successful; sometimes we lose our sense of purpose, drive and motivation.   Not so when you have learning and new skills as part of your goals.  There is something always new to learn and learning lets you grow personally and professionally and lets you take any successes to the next level.

Over the next 5 days, we will release  one category each day starting with free publicity online.  We think the free publicity online category  is one of the most interesting and useful and runs at the heart of any entrepreneur  or new businesses.  Typically, they have  little to no cash and resources.  We end  our top 50 with what we think is the Heart  of the top 50: EDUCATION.  The other  three categories will be revealed in no particular sequence, but are none the less  of great interest and value to all.

 

 

1. We know what we know
2. We know what we don’t know
3. We don’t know what we don’t know

Like we said in our opening statement:

“No Money? No Problem!”  Using skills and performance tools in
combination is just like MAGIC!!!
