Malcolm Gladwell made this notion of 10,000 hours of practice needed to be a master, quite popular.
But is it really true?
He talks about Bill Gates and people of that stature.
But what about people like Grant Cardone, Gary Vaynerchuk, Daymond John and others?
These 10,000 hours are important notion has kept me from doing things a lot many times.
I do not believe in 10,000 hours of practice anymore.
The number actually to make a big difference is quite small as compared to 10,000.
To be the best on the planet, maybe yea it is 10,000 hours.
What if you were just best in your city, or country?
Ever heard of Barbara Corcoran, she had a multi million dollar real estate empire just in New York, with not selling everything, but only a small specific kind of real estate.
Let's strive to work hard, and leave the numbers out of the equation.
There is a lot of money on the table for people doing just 5,000 hours or even 3,000.
Deliberate practice is the key, for as many hours as you want to put in.
