Are You Ready To Stop Learning?

Happy Sunday everyone,

Within 24 hours, you forget 56% of what you learn. Only 25% remains after a week.

Hermann Ebbinghaus proved that without practice, knowledge fades fast.

The fix?

Spaced repetition and active recall. AKA putting the information into practice.

Stop hoarding information—use it, or lose it.

In today’s email:

1. Why Learning Is Hurting Your Goals and what to do about it.

2. The 70/30 Rule and how to can change your life.

3. Thing 1 and something about it

4. Thing 1 and something about it

POWER SURGE

Is Education The Thief Of Success?

You’ve read ten books on entrepreneurship yet haven’t launched your business venture.

You’ve memorized countless workout plans but still haven’t figured out the proper deadlift form.

This is all too common.

The hard truth is that you don’t lack the knowledge you need to achieve your goals, you’re just stuck in endless “research mode,” a fancy term for fear of trying.

Let’s fix that. Today.

The Learning vs. Practice Trap

Passive learning is the act of consuming information—books, courses, webinars—without taking action.

In contrast, active practice is about deliberate repetition with intent; as Thomas Sterner says, “deliberate repetition is the cornerstone of mastery.”

Knowledge without action is nothing more than mental hoarding.

It’s just that learning feels safe and productive. We fall into this cycle of delaying action by ticking off low-stakes tasks that don’t move the needle.

But active practice forces you into the arena, where mistakes are your best teachers.

Why Practice Makes Perfect

Here are 3 reasons why practice is ALWAYS better than learning.

1. Learning is a procrastination disguise.

You whisper to yourself, “I’ll start my podcast after I finish this audio-editing course,” but that “after” never comes.

2. Practice is the only real teacher.

Mistakes on live sales calls or a botched presentation teach you lessons no “how to close” ebook ever could.

J.K. Rowling churned out 50,000 words before refining what would become the world of Harry Potter

Real growth comes from doing, not dreaming. You’ve just got to put the miles in.

3. Progress lives in the process, not in glossy end goals.

Goals are alluring fantasies; habits are your daily reality.

Want to write a novel? Fall in love with writing 300 words every day instead of fixating on a bestseller fantasy.

Without simple systems to help you move forward, your goals are merely dreams.

“How can I switch from a Learner to a Doer?”

Introducing the 70/30 Rule: Spend 30% of your time learning and 70% practising.

If you’re not a little embarrassed by your first attempt, you started too late.

Embrace the messy first step—write that terrible first draft, and launch that glitchy MVP.

Imperfect action always trumps perfect theory.

What would you start if you didn’t fear failure?
