Honestly this gets said a lot but I kinda disagree, because not everyone learns by just getting thrown in the deep end and struggling alone for weeks. Videos gave me the base stuff I needed, and without that I would have just stared at a broken calculator with no clue what was even wrong. So yeah, breaking things helps sometimes, but acting like tutorials are a waste is just wrong.

I had a similar thing happen with grout on a tile job in July, it started skinning over in the bucket within minutes and I had to toss the whole batch. The old timers on that crew swore by mixing small amounts and keeping the bucket in the shade, but the real fix was just starting before the sun came up. Heat like that does not care how fast you work.

My cousin runs a bait and tackle shop up in Payson and he blew like $800 on Meta last spring trying to sell guided fishing trips. Got a ton of likes and shares from people three states away who thought the lake pics were pretty, but the only bookings came from a $12 yard sign he threw up near the boat ramp. What finally worked was running a cheap video of him actually catching bass on the lake, not a graphic with dates and prices. Took him three tries before he stopped wasting cash on the pretty stuff.
