In this episode of off your plate, Karine dives into a common trap entrepreneurs and business owners fall into: the endless cycle of learning without implementing. If you’ve ever found yourself stockpiling courses, books, and resources without actually putting them to use—this one’s for you. Karine shares personal stories and actionable steps to help you shift from collecting knowledge to confidently applying what you already know.
Takeaways
- You don’t need to learn more to take action—you likely already have what you need.
- Constantly consuming new information can be a form of procrastination that feels productive but keeps you stuck.
- Learning is safe; implementing is where real growth (and discomfort) happens.
- Doubting yourself leads to over-preparing instead of trusting your existing knowledge.
- The "I need one more course/book/masterclass" mindset delays meaningful progress.
- Too much learning creates overwhelm and adds unnecessary clutter to your business and mental space.
- Success often comes from applying what you already know, not from always knowing more.
- Shifting from accumulation to action is the fastest way to create momentum in your business.
- Take inventory of all the knowledge and tools you've already collected—then put them into practice.
- The Work VACAY is designed to help you move from passive learning to intentional implementation.
