ADVICE

Learn Just What You Need

  • Identify the one or two percent of information you need to start, rather than trying to learn everything at once.
  • Learn just enough to take the next step, then implement and learn on the job to build momentum.
ADVICE

Ask, "If Easy, Then What?"

  • Ask yourself, 'If this were easy, what would it look like?' to simplify your learning process.
  • Focus on immediate action like "just press record" in YouTube instead of perfect preparation.
ADVICE

Find Your Champion Network

  • Surround yourself with three types of champions: emotional supporters, peers, and trusted mentors.
  • Each champion type offers unique guidance to help you stay focused and progress effectively.
