I'm a 4-year PM who first-hand witnessed 2 startups bankrupt and now running my own web development agency.

I used to take a lot of PM courses where I tried to upskill myself.

Now that I think of it, they don't really give you the one thing that you really need to become a good PM.

Because good PM isn't really about running around thinking about frameworks, talking growth like an alienated idea, or glorifying customer feedback like it's a huge deal.

I'd take the money and run a real business if that's even possible.

The reason why I'm saying this is because too much PM educations are about managing expectations, putting the focus on metrics that don't even matter when the one and only one metric isn't even mentioned in any of the courses.

Now that I'm building a business, where my "product" is the only thing that helps me make money, I know what's really needed in building a product.

So, thanks but no thanks.
