Thoughts on GrowthX
Whenever I read a growthX article it's always hype n hype. I logged into their website and it seems like a complicated process just to buy upskilling membership or course to become a top 1% leader.
Has anyone gone through with it. Is it worth it?
Overpaid networking session
Useful for extroverts.
Couldn't agree with you more lol
Waste of time.
It will make you feel that u cut through thousands of application to be there so that you feel achieved and indebted to pay them 70k for some waste zoom classes.
Same with this GGI
Making fool out of people wanting to upskill
I have done both. Got lucky that both were reimbursed by orgs (I did reforge first in my prev company).
Now reforge is great, but I could not really apply the learnings. Like basically it felt like a great YT video which is full of insights but it's not really applicable. I mean sure it works on Airbnb and Uber. But great content for sure. If you're only after content go for it.
Also, only I amongst 6 of my colleagues could finish it. I also finished it with a lot of effort. I think in that way GrowthX feels more like it's designed for you to apply. And it's not about content, it's about the overall experience feels like that. From like keeping videos on, to compulsory projects, I don't know, just way more actionable learnings.
The whole experience has been special.
- It has been learning at every step from peers and new business models.
- Pushing me outside my comfort zone.
- A realisation of how little I know and how much I can compound with the right approach
