In this quick tip episode, Fiona Killackey shares a powerful mindset shift for developing new business skills by treating them like saving for a big purchase. Just as she saved for her first car as a teenager and now saves for family travel, Fiona explains how consistent small deposits of time and practice can help you master new business skills without overwhelm.

You'll learn:

• Why the "zero to 100" approach to learning new skills often fails
• How to calculate your "skill savings plan" based on your timeline and goals
• Practical ways to schedule regular "deposits" into your skill development
• Why consistent small efforts lead to better results than sporadic cramming
• How to apply this approach to video creation, podcasting, speaking, and more
