Richard Canfield advises gradual, incremental learning—"one bite at a time"—using a structured onboarding and learning schedule. He references a 12-step getting-started guide (email), an initial set of seven tasks that can be completed in ~30 minutes, a recommended 90-day learning path, further six-month guidance, and a suggested ongoing commitment of about two hours per month to sustain continual growth.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. So you have to chip away at your own schedule. Now, you would have received, probably when you got set up, a 12 step guide to getting started. You remember getting an email with something like that? Yeah. And it walks through the first seven steps you do in 30 minutes. It's like setting up your bank account, basic things. But then it walks through a recommended learning path for the first 90 days. And then if he has, okay, here's the next six months. And says you need to be committing about two hours a month roughly to your learning, at least in this timeframe. And then that's the idea. And it's all about continual and constant growth.
