1. Read a good book. 'Clojure Programming' has a good reputation. 'Joy of Clojure' is a good second book. 2. Do some small examples, 4clojure is great for this. 3. Build up larger programs from smaller chunks.
Learning another lisp at the same time is going to distract more than help, clojure docs don't assume prior knowledge, and you might get caught up in minor differences. That said, the 'Little Schemer' is a great intro to basic lisp and recursive thought, and the language features needed to get through the book are very very small.
