Become A Master Today
As we go through the day we notice those we consider to be experts, gurus or masters their craft at work. We readily give them time out of your busy schedules to watch and admire these 'superhuman' displays of true mastery. it could be the coconut vendor serving some of our tourists with lfancy tricks or a politician delivering an impromptu but very coherent and motivating speech I know what this feels like, when people watch you in awe. Amazed by your talent. People often ask me, Corey Graham 2.0 you are sooooooooo crazy!
Well I am reading their emphasis on "so" to be an indication of how in awe they are of my talent to be crazy. And yes, crazy is a talent. It is a skill! Well at least my brand of crazy.
Alrite now stick with me here, let me tell you how to master a skill like crazy! I think that there are many skills out there that we can aquire once we figure out how to master a skill like crazy.. Let me break it down into 3 steps.
Get the perspective
Seek it out. Talk to a guru or expert about the skill you want to aquire. Even talk to some fans of a particular thing. Try to get a flavour of what it is really all about! Get it from different sources. Try to read books or get into a conversation with them. People will enjoy sharing their passion with you. They will love to tell you about it. Listen well. Listen carefully. Listen for the concepts and the perspectives.
Do it, Practice, Practice, Practice
Choose something, some project you want to accomplish and get into the drivers seat and start to drive. Make sure you seek feedback and listen. Make sure you seek it. Put it into practice. Keep moving, keep learning and getting better.
Join the community
Practice is fine and good, but you have to get around people who are doing the same skill, and preferably with people who are better than you so you have a very good picture of what being good looks like. Share your experiences and listen to theirs. Motivate them and let them motivate you. Keep growing!
That's it just do that and you will master oh this might be a 5 to 20 year process soooooo .... GET STARTED NOW!
