a question I often get asked from my mentees is on the lines of Tim how did
you get about getting the results that you've got in your life at the rate that
most people can't get well I found out that it comes down to these three things
this is what success insiders out there are able to constantly do and that's why
they're able to achieve the result that the majority people struggle to achieve
because the biggest mistake that you can make right now is to assume practice is
what equals mastery I'm sure you've heard of the 10,000 hour rule I'm here
to question that and I'm actually gonna say that it's flawed
I believe 10,000 hour rule is flawed why because most people out there when
they're practicing they're repeating the same mistakes over and over again so the
mindset you've gotta adopt is not so much to practice mindset it's what's called a
purposeful practice mindset it's whenever you look at the master of skill
you have to do it purposefully you have to know exactly what you're doing and
why you are doing that and this brings us closer to what I'll be covering today
so be sure to have your pen and the notepad in front of you there's gonna
be a lot of them stuff I'll be covering right now and most importantly my friend
remember it's not about information it's all about application of knowledge so
it's all about taking action ok so be sure to take action after today's video
the first point is specific goals right specific goals let me just write this
down specific goals is the first point now what do I mean by specific goals most
people out there who are just practicing like I said are like a hamster on a
wheel getting nowhere high achievers whenever they're
practicing something for example maybe you're looking to master I don't know the art of
sprinting maybe you want to go to the Olympics one day well high achievers
have a specific goal for that specific session that they will they will focus
with a laser pinpoint accuracy they'll focus on a specific thing that outcome
they're looking to get from that training session so you to have to have
a very specific goal and for example if right now you're thinking but Tim my
goal is very big is very important that you chunk it down
small and you break it down into session bite-sized sessions whereby when you're
practicing for one hour whatever skill you look to master you have a laser
pinpoint accuracy in regards to what you're precisely practicing and why
you're practicing what you're gonna practice it's very important with
purposeful practice that you focus whenever you're practicing like this
it's very very important so make sure you have a specific goal okay for each
and every session moving forwards going on to number two is to always okay
this is very very important if you want to become a master at any skill in fact
I truly believe success leaves clues as the great saying goes if you look at the
ones who truly make it in life the likes for example in entrepreneurial world Bill
Gates Steve Jobs Elon Musk those legends out there they all take onboard device
from the second point which is feedback and this is the biggest difference between
those who just practice repeat the same mistakes and those who actually achieve
something and actual crazy rate as well the kids they're receiving feedback you
will not find a single successful person who hasn't made it big without a mentor
by their side because think about it if you don't have feedback okay in regards
to what you're actually doing it's very hard to improve yourself because why
it's very hard to see what which area you need to improve in when you're
currently at the vantage point you're currently at from with your model world
your belief systems you're currently just seeing the world because remember
my friend everybody stars in a movie called their life right and they are the
main actor everybody is a side cast it's very very hard sometimes and I'm sure
some of you may disagree but it's hard sometimes to point out the flaws areas
you need to improve in and even if you can point that flaws or the areas you
need to improve in sometimes you miss you miss something why because you're
just seeing your world your life from your eyes so it's very important to have
a mentor or coach that's giving you feedback as they're coming from a
different vantage point they've mastered the skills that they can really show you
what you're doing wrong and what you're doing right for example when I sign up to a
new gym recently I told a personal trainer what I was looking to master and
he basically showed me the special move okay and he was picking up this weight
and I just watched him very carefully how he did it and then I basically
picked up the weight exactly like him and I modeled exactly what what he was
doing okay now what was very very interesting is after I did it he said
Tim no you did it wrong as I was like really I thought I did it right right because
again it's about seeing the world from your vantage point you always assumed it
looks the same but from a world of let's say a master they got a unique vantage
point they can really see what or which mistakes you're making and he said no
Tim you need to slightly shift your feet to the right a little bit more and
that's it you're gotta lift it up it's gonna be close to your chins and
then I watched him very carefully and he showed me the little millimeter
differences but I could feel it it felt different after I made those slight
adjustments now had I been on our own I would have never spotted that this is
why feedback is vital if you want to learn or master any skill every skill
that I've looked to master in my life for example public speaking eight months
ago I was not able to do public speaking today I literally travel around the world
I'm an international speaker I've had somebody who's given me feedback in
regard to my body language tonality the rate I speak that Korean girl in the middle
she eats food on webcam makes 9K a month
the rate I basically show emotion now I thought the feedback thus I was able to
improve so it's very vital that you get feedback in regards to what you're
looking to prove in does that makes sense absolutely amazing so let's go on to
the final point the final point is this the final point is comfort zone now
comfort zone what you gotta realize sounds very obvious but not many
people really do the obvious that's the fact you've gotta make sure if you're
looking to master a skill you step out of your comfort zone every single time
because if you don't get of your comfort zone it's very hard to learn something
new if you're constantly repeating the same thing over and over again
that's what Einstein called insanity so you have to make sure each and every
session you are pushing yourself a little bit further a little bit further until
you are out of your comfort zone for example when I was when I was pricing
public speaking for the first time we was doing it in controlled environment
everybody else was practicing public speaking but eventually I had to get
myself onto a stage in front of people I don't actually know that was totally
out of my comfort zone and that was in front of around 50 people and then I
went 100 people 200 people 300 people constantly pushing myself out of my
comfort zone because that just basically pushes me and it helps me to grow and
master any skill so you make you have to make sure that you do the same in your
life moving forwards those so those are the three three steps okay so specific
goals you've got to make sure you chunk down your big goal into small increment
goals moving forwards for each and every session you focus on improving whatever
you look at you improve number two is to get the feedback from a
mentor coach number three is to ensure you're stepping out of your comfort zone
every single time and this would help you to accelerate results and become a
master at any skill moving forward okay insider that's it for me I hope you
