LESSON 6

Growing Your Skills Library

Start with 3, grow to 10+. This lesson teaches you the "done 3+ times = make it a Skill" rule, how to customize templates for your specific industry, and the simple weekly habit that turns your skills folder into a compounding career asset.

THE PLAYBOOK

Your Skills Growth System

The goal isn't to create 100 skills. It's to create the right 5-10 that cover 80% of what you do every week. Here's how to identify, create, and maintain your personal library.

📐 The 3x Rule

Rule: If you've done a task 3+ times, it deserves a skill template
Week 1: Keep a simple log: what tasks did I use AI for?
Week 2: Highlight repeats — these become your next skills
Week 3+: One new skill per week until you hit 10

💡 Skill Ideas by Role

Sales: Proposal Builder, Follow-Up Email, Objection Handler
Ops: Meeting Notes → Actions, Status Report, Process Doc
Marketing: Social Post, Blog Outline, Campaign Brief
Finance: Data Summary, Compliance Check, Client Report

THE HABIT

The 5-Minute Weekly Skill Review

Every Friday: spend 5 minutes reviewing your skills folder. Did a template underperform? Update it. Did you repeat a task manually? Create a new skill. Did a skill save you time? Keep it. This tiny habit compounds into a massive productivity advantage over 6 months.

minutes per week is the entire maintenance commitment
