Cycling teams are famous for their marginal gains. Small incremental improvements in any process amount to a significant improvement when they are added together.
How about trying to make a 1% improvement in your financial modelling skills and understanding each day? This will build up to a marked improvement in efficiency over time. Perhaps try and embed a new shortcut, try to slim down your formulae or improve your error checking skills.
One way of doing this could be to use my guide the “Essentials of Financial Modelling” which contains key information for successful and efficient financial modelling. It is a small and very manageable book and could easily be used as a handbook for marginal gains in financial modelling. It contains useful tips on essentials such as shortcuts, error checking, Excel features plus much more. Why not look at just one line, every day and put it into practice?
