I studied maths in college about 20 years ago and statistics was in there. It didn't interest me at the time and I never really got a handle on it. Stats seems to be everywhere now, so I am making the effort to get on top of it. I have started by downloading the R-Project software.
I have given this a bash before, but I think the discipline of the 3 month timeline in the 4 Goals books will give me the push to really get to grips with this.
Now that I have the software installed I am going to make my way through the manuals. At least as far as I think I need to. Drip, drip, drip as Seth says.
This might seem a bit like putting the cart before the horse. Learn the complex software package before the basics, but I am happy that I know the basics and don't need to bore myself unnecessarily. I'll dig into some stats sites once I know how to use the tools.
