Many good activities can be excuses that slow our progress toward great things.  Forever tweaking tracks, learning more before you take the next step, doing it 'one day' after you update or buy this or that, on and on. Practicing, buying new gear, learning about the industry, and more can all be good things but sometimes we use them as crutches not to take the right actions. As you transition to doing these 'preperatory' activities AS you move forward, instead of 'before' you move forward you will make much better progress in your career.  Reach out to me at [email protected] and let me know what suggestions have or haven't worked for you, or what you would like to hear about in the future.
