How To Become A Master

From Chet Holmes’ excellent book, The Ultimate Sales Machine, which I’m currently reading for the third time…

How do you become a master of anything? How do you help others become masters? The key lesson I’ve learned again and again, ever since I was a kid studying karate, is that mastery is not about being special or more gifted than anyone else. Mastery is a direct result of pigheaded discipline and determination.

In other words, mastery comes from practicing something for much longer than most people would consider reasonable.

I love this because it highlights that even if you’re lacking natural talent or ability, you can still out-perform most folks by developing strong discipline and determination 💪
