In this quick tip episode, Fiona Killackey shares a powerful mindset shift for developing new business skills by treating them like saving for a big purchase. Just as she saved for her first car as a teenager and now saves for family travel, Fiona explains how consistent small deposits of time and practice can help you master new business skills without overwhelm.

You'll learn:

Why the "zero to 100" approach to learning new skills often fails
How to calculate your "skill savings plan" based on your timeline and goals
Practical ways to schedule regular "deposits" into your skill development
Why consistent small efforts lead to better results than sporadic cramming
How to apply this approach to video creation, podcasting, speaking, and more
