What’s the secret to getting good at something?
And I’m not just talking about being “good.”
I’m talking about achieving God like mastery.
Well, believe it or not, the real secret is simple repetition.
You want to take something simple and practice it over and over and over again.
This means honing and practicing the basics until they become profound.
It also means daily repetition…
…sometimes for months or even years.
These posts are a good example. At this point I’ve written hundreds of them. Simply by doing this I’ve greatly increased the ability to formulate my thoughts, write them down, and come up with a halfway decent blog post. Even more importantly, my writing speed has greatly increased. What used to take hours, now takes minutes.
The problem with most people is that they don’t want to hear this.
People want overnight results with very little effort.
What they don’t understand is that this method often works a lot better.
You see, time is always passing…
…and eventually it all adds up.
So all you really have to do is devote a few minutes per day to practice.
Over time that combined effort will accumulate…
…and you to will achieve God like mastery of your chosen craft.
Whether that’s writing, speaking, marketing or something else…
…the fruits will be yours to enjoy.
