When developing a new skill, investing the time to learn how to  ______ the right way yields exponential returns. 

If you learn to do it the right way now, you save yourself the cost of unlearning and relearning in the future.

Prevent future regret. 

Spend time learning but “Get to good, then get going.”

Obsess about the fundamentals, but stop there.

Spending time learning a new skill has value, but this phase has diminishing returns.

It can turn into an obsession. Driven by the fear of trying.

If you have never shot a basketball before, the first lesson you receive on form provides a once in a lifetime value.

The second lesson can still be valuable, but less so. This trend continues.

At a certain point in skill acquisition, the value of the first attempt > the value of theory.

The failure of your first attempt is more valuable than your fifteenth lesson. 

When in doubt, try.
