If inexperience is holding you back, approach someone whose work you admire and ask him/her to mentor you. Offer to help coordinate a “lunch and learn” session, or an after-hours network of your peers. Mentor someone else, and you’ll find it’s also good for you. Manage interruptions and learn to say “no” where appropriate.

You believe you should be able to learn something on the first try. You dislike the idea of having a coach/mentor because you can (and should) handle things on your own. Each time I write a book, every time I face that yellow pad, the challenge is so great. Then, as you learn things, you can make modifications.

I agree the books were largely based on some of the most popular blog posts and that made the task a little bit easier. But the whole process was fun and I learned a lot about how to measure your effort when starting such a task.

At work it’s mostly helping people vs learning.
