Summary
- To improve from having no skills to reaching a basic level, you don't just need one skill; you need about 20 skills.
- Progressing to the next level requires even more skills, roughly 40 in total.
- Often, you may not realize the lack of required skills until you start something new and face challenges.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by identifying the specific skills you need. Break down the larger goal into smaller, manageable skills. For example, if you want to improve your marketing, you might need skills like writing, data analysis, and social media management. Make a list of these skills.
A good way of doing this is by prioritizing which skills to learn first based on what’s most critical to your immediate goals. Focus on learning one or two skills at a time rather than trying to tackle everything simultaneously. This way, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed.
You can efficiently learn new skills through free or low-cost resources such as online courses, podcasts, or books. Websites like Coursera, Khan Academy, or YouTube offer diverse training options. Set aside a little time each day for learning, even if it’s just 15 minutes. Consistency matters more than cramming.
I recommend applying new skills immediately in real-life scenarios. If you’re learning social media, start by managing your own or a friend’s accounts. This practical application helps reinforce your learning.
Lastly, regularly reflect on your progress. Once a month, evaluate what skills you've gained and how they've impacted your work or personal growth. This reflection will help you stay motivated and adjust your learning strategy as needed. Celebrate those small wins to keep your motivation high!
