SHOW HIGHLIGHTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. 10,000 Hours
    Author, Malcom Gladwell, wrote a book called “Outliers” that stated the very best in every walk of life had put in their 10,000 hours in order to get there regardless of skill or talent level.

  2. Discipline
    Instead of focusing on a “natural talent” or skill, most of the high achievers rely on discipline and work ethic to carve time out of their schedule each day to work on their craft in order to become a master of it.

  3. Expert Status
    Being an expert simply comes from putting in the hours required to learn, re-learn, and apply what you have learned into thousands of hours of successful outcomes.
