Method 2 of 4: Part Two: Research and Understanding
Step 1. Decide the most important part
When you know you want to do something complex, the first thing will be to determine what the most important part is. What is the heart of the matter? Here's where you need to focus your efforts.
- For example: you want to learn figure skating, the most important thing will be ice skating.
- If you want to open a restaurant, the vital part will be to become a great cook to keep the place full (if you are the chef) or to develop a talent to run your business to the maximum (if you are the owner).
- If you wanted to move abroad, the most important thing would be to find a job in that country.
Step 2. Divide the main task into several secondary ones
Once you have identified the core, you will need to understand what parts it is made up of. They will be a kind of secondary goal to focus on and in some cases, the tasks you will need to do before reaching the goal.
- As for skating for example, the secondary part would be learning particular movements and how to skate following the music.
- For the restaurant, it would be learning how to run the business if you are the boss or learning the various rules of that specific industry.
- In the example of expatriation, the secondary parts are learning the language, studying local cultural norms and the immigration process.
Step 3. Eliminate unnecessary aspects
Before continuing, you will need to consider what you are trying to do and think if there is something you don't need. They may be normal things or that some would consider necessary, but they would actually distract you from the main goal and waste your time and money.
- For the example of figure skating, it would be useless to find a fashionable costume or skates. Yes, they are common, but in the end only external.
- As for the restaurant, it would be superfluous to have a bunch of utensils in the kitchen or designer furniture. Utensils are useless if you can do the same things in the same amount of time without them, and good food will be more useful with customers than a nice table.
- In the example of expatriation, the unnecessary parts could be wearing certain clothing or listening to local pop music.
Step 4. Determine your goals
Decide how far you want to go. Do you want to do something like a true expert? Do you want a level of success that makes you feel comfortable? You will have to learn where you can reasonably end up or you will find yourself aimless and ready to give up.
Step 5. Identify the skills you need
Once you have determined everything you want to achieve, start thinking about what skills are needed. If the goal is sports, you will probably need to work on physical fitness. If you think about a job you will need to have skills useful for market purposes. If you want to leave, you will have to think about the linguistic aspect, etc.
Step 6. Plan the steps
Think about what you will need to do and in what order. Having an action plan will make it easier to accomplish the task. It will be useful to check the information as described below.
Method 3 of 4: Part Three: Learning the Necessary
Step 1. Find out the sources of information on the skills you need
Find reliable ones to learn from. These sources must be accurate. You will need them to get a better idea of what and how you need them.
For example, for expatriation, you will have to search for official government sites. For sports, look for official sports associations. For hobbies and similar activities there are plenty of dedicated communities that will help you
Step 2. Find yourself a mentor
Look for someone who knows what you want to do. He can help you by giving you information that you may not have been able to find on the internet. Asking for help politely is the start of a good relationship.
Step 3. Consider formal education
Sometimes, when you want to do something, it will be easier if you have the education to support it, especially in that particular area. If you get stuck, give us a little thought. We do not necessarily speak of school: for manual work and other activities there is an apprenticeship for example.
Step 4. Take it one step at a time
Don't expect everything you do to happen overnight. The hardest things, which require rare skills, are difficult because it takes a lot to learn them. Don't be disappointed and take it one step at a time. Eventually you will get where you want to go.
Step 5. Focus
If you really want to learn how to do something it will take some concentration. Don't jump from one thing to another, only to be amazed at not being able to learn anything. Talent requires commitment. Focus and you will get it.
Step 6. Stay Determined
Don't lose the momentum. This is how many end up doing what they want. Yes, things get complicated sometimes and you often find yourself struggling with even the boring aspects of everything, but what you have to do in this case is to get down to it. You will appreciate who you are once you get to the other side.

Advice
- When everything goes wrong, change your plans.
- Don't give a damn about what others say about what you want to do, believe in yourself and follow your dreams. Good luck.
- Never doubt reality, because your dreams can also come true thanks to something you do not expect. It could happen through success or failure.
- Believe in yourself.
- Fear of failure or embarrassment will ruin your life. Get used to the fact that you won't be good at everything for quite a while. It is a learning process. Don't get stopped. Hemingway was not born a writer. Everyone at some point in their evolution sucked.
- Maintain the right attitude.
