10000 Hours

When you need to master a complex skill or concept, it requires you apply yourself to mastering that skill or concept for approximately 10,000 hours to master it.

Pay close attention to the master level copywriters, marketers, business people, surgeons, and on… and on.

Almost every single one of them has been attentively practicing their craft for at least 10,000 hours (approximately 10 years) before attaining a level of “mastery” in that craft.

Now, I wonder…

How on earth could anyone pick up a business opportunity magazine for example… then expect to select any business opportunity and develop that opportunity into a successful business in any less time than 10,000 hours?

(don’t pick me apart here, sure there are anomalies, but for the most part super-successful, mastery level businesses aren’t built in less than 10 years)

You wouldn’t expect to bat over .300 in the Major Leagues unless you had been playing baseball all your life would you?  Hell, you couldn’t expect to make the Major Leagues in the first place…right?

Then how on earth are you planning to turn that business opportunity into a full-time productive income in 30 days?

Think about this today.
