Now I’m sharing it with you:

2) Simplify complexity
Useful skills = complex skills
They require you to master many ‘micro’ skills.
Ex ⇢ Copywriting
✧ CTAs
✧ Offers
✧ Headline
✧ Research
✧ Social proof
Weave all of them into a persuasive masterpiece.

3) Craft a complexity map
To learn hard skills fast you need a map.
⇢ Pick a skill
⇢ Break it into its basic
⇢ Learn from the bottom up
Tips → basic → specializations → complexities
Here’s mine for writing:

4) Start with First Principles
Break your skill down into its core fundamentals.
A few writing examples:
✧ Ideation
✧ Hook writing
✧ Market research
Then turn them into a system…

but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

5) Systemize Your Process
Create a repeatable process that combines all the basics.
My writing process:
1 - Ideate
2 - Clarify
3 - Simplify
4 - Flow
5 - Flair
Learn in steps, not leaps.

6) Embrace nuance
The usefulness of knowledge depends on its environmental context.

7) Turn 1 failure into 5 lessons
Failure is a part of practice - it’s inevitable.
But reflect on each failure and you’ll learn a lesson.
Have 4 friends reflect on said failure.
↳ You might learn 4 more lessons.
Failure is feedback.
Friends are force multipliers.
