#3

Maximize your Knowledge

The normal cycle: try something yourself, fail, figure it out piece-by-piece, and after pulling all your hair out, stumble through.

You get it eventually, but it takes forever.



Instead, learn from someone with true expertise who has been where you are, and can help you get it right the first time, in half the time.
