The learning process never stops.  Continuing education is something that many of the world’s top executives and leadership coaches have preached to the people in their respective fields.  Obviously there are certain professions where continuing education is mandatory, but there are certain topics and areas of life where advanced knowledge should be something we seek.  That is the belief at TrueNYC.com.

The goal for TrueNYC.com founder David Schnurman was to create an online environment where learning never ends.  The website is the start of a dialogue that can take someone in any line of work and teach them the entrepreneurial spirit that can lead to personal and professional growth.  Through interviews and articles about successful entrepreneurs and innovative business minds, the learning process is made much simpler and more enjoyable than ever before.

For lawyers, the lessons learned in TrueNYC interviews are simple enough.  You can learn how to grow and manage your professional life without getting stressed out.  Managing employees and a growing client base is similar to starting a business.  By listening to the challenges and obstacles faced by some of the most successful entrepreneurs in and around New York City, you can grasp the mindset that it takes to be successful.  After all, success is a feeling and an attitude that we are all seeking in life.

In one of the most recent interviews, restaurant owner Vikas Khanna discussed some of the driving forces in his life that have led him to prosperity.  The passion he has for his work and his food is the same type of passion we find in almost every successful businessman.  If you are not confident in your abilities and your ideas, there is no way you can continue to develop and grow.  “You can start at any level and rise,” expresses Vikas, “you have that feeling that you’re moving, going forward.”

In another interview, Richard Matasar, dean of New York Law School, discusses everything from building a law school to comparisons between law and the business world.  “Nowadays many lawyers are finding that they have a solid grasp of the law but are lacking a background in basic business skills,” says Matasar.

The many other interviews and articles discuss topics like branding, sales, real estate, customer service, family, and much more.  “We are creating a way for people to empower themselves through learning,” David Schnurman, founder of TrueNYC, says about the website.  “It is a place where the desire to learn and grow is not only supported, but it is encouraged.”  One thing that is obvious is that this could be the beginning of a trend in continuing education.  Learning will no longer be looked upon as something feared or irritating because it takes away from other things in life; now it can be seen as a way to further enjoy everything else out there.  It is a way to open up new doors and take advantage of new opportunities that were never available before now.
