The Three Month Vacation Podcast

Practice, practice, practice! Isn't that how you get better?

Well, yes, but the problem with that mantra is that few of us have the time to get to schedule in as much practice. What if you stopped believing in endless "practice, practice, practice"? Suddenly you'd have to have answers to problems pretty rapidly. Instead of spending endless time in practice, you'd be able to get fluent not at just one, but two, possibly as many as a dozen skills.

However, first you've got to figure out what professionals do and how they go about their lives.

When creating sales pages—or even when fixing them, you have a long list of elements to tackle.

So many in fact, that you may just put off the fix for a few weeks, which ends up taking a few months. The reality is that you and I can't do it all at once. Why not take on a few elements, instead?

If you were to fix things, where would you start?
Here are two of the ones I'd get cracking on, right away. And there are two more showing up in the second part of this podcast.
