The P.L.A.N Blue Print Part 3 of 4

<p>Welcome to 2021! If you’re like me, you’ve probably heaved a sigh of relief the moment the calendar hit January 1. As we leave 2020 behind us, it’s important that we take its lessons with us. Learning, after all, is part of growth - and it’s also the second step in the P.L.A.N. Blue Print. After we designed our ‘<em>In a Perfect World’</em> scenario and planned for the trip towards it, it’s time to equip ourselves with the necessary skills and knowledge to help us realize our dreams: because when we dream big, it’s our responsibility to arrive prepared.</p> <p>In this episode, I highlight the role of learning in your journey towards your <em>‘In a Perfect World’</em> scenario. I explain why you don’t need to master a skill right away and underscore the importance of letting yourself be a beginner. I share some experiences - and bad memories - with sports and how I strove to be better at cornhole despite some embarrassing moments with it. I also share some tips and platforms to help people with different learning styles and reveal the two defining factors of self-education.</p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><em>“Each step of your journey toward your goals for your life and business requires you to learn more.” - Kristin Ostrander</em></p> <p align="center"><em> </em></p> <p><strong>This week on the Amazon Files:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The importance of learning and practice</li> <li>The difference between learning and mastering</li> <li>Giving yourself the permission to be a beginner</li> <li>The impact of consistent practice</li> <li>Pressuring ourselves to be our best on our first try</li> <li>My first and last team sport and how I received my black belt</li> <li>The moment I decided to improve despite moments of embarrassment</li> <li>Beating my husband in cornhole and what it takes to learn a new skill</li> <li>The two rules of learning and self-education</li> <li>The power of <em>15-Minute Hustles</em> and tracking the progress of your incremental efforts</li> <li>Different learning platforms for different lea
