on one particular skill until you master it and then move forward . Many times , entrepreneurs in their quest to be the best in their field , overwhelm themselves with trying to learn several things at once . What happens is you might be adequate in those skills , but you don ’ t master them .
Instead of being Badass , you are meh .
Say I want to develop a one-hour e-course , and I need training in developing the program and how to write an effective sales page . Because currently what I ’ m doing is not working . Scenario 1 is I buy both courses at $ 100 each and learn both at the same time . The sales page is taking me 6 hours and the program development is 4 hours . At my $ 68 , I have invested $ 880 in this e-course . And its meh because I haven ’ t mastered any of these skills and the generated income will suffer for it . I eventually get the time down to 3 hours for the sales page and my costs drop to $ 476 . Your mileage may vary . But I ’ m still not mastering these skills .
But what if I took the time to master each skill . Statistics show that when Deliberate Practice is effective , it should take three sessions to master . If it is taking
longer than 3 sessions , you need to re-evaluate your learning process . If I reduce the time spent on sales pages and program development to an hour and two hours respectively , the program costs is now $ 204 .
The purchase of a training program , plus the time it takes to learn it is also a business expense . Instead of just buying whatever program you run across , take the time , ( in my case $ 68 an hour ) to find the most effective one on the market . Ask recommendations from people who are already successful because of the program they bought . For sales pages , hands down , Amethyst Mahoney ’ s NO BS Sales Pages .
When you know precisely what your time is worth , you can make better decisions that propel your business forward rather than just spinning your wheels .
