We might read an article, watch some YouTube videos, ask someone’s advice or attend a course online or in person. Where you do need to provide knowledge and information make it concise and bite-sized. We can take short-cuts to improving our performance by learning what we can before attempting the task. So how could you do this?

If I want to know the best way to solder a joint or set a stone, I’ll Google it, find a video on YouTube or ask my social network of fellow jewellers.
