This is TOTAL inspiration! I couldn't tell you enough times how right you are. Persistence is everything. Persistence keeps the dream alive and any push to realize a dream is a step closer to success.

Thank you, @longfield98! Short, to the point and immensely inspirational! Greatness!

10,000 hours hey :P Such an original idea for a post brother! I wish I could've thought about such an awesome concept to write about! :)

Haha awesome post broseph. By the way, keep an eye for my next post :) It's about you! Talk soon.

truly there is no excuse, within every one of us is infinite potential. any limiting belief like lack is useless. charity = oppression. into a world where GOD can express himself through us without limit, and understand himself. with ai amplifying human potential, towards purpose. cant use up creativity, the more i use the more i have. everything for me nothing against me, and to contradict is illusion. to waste potential which is god given is sin if any

Hey @longfield98! Great short article about this topic, I LOVE it (applied it to my Learning Japanese). 

For **everyone who did not read the book**, the 10.000 Hour Rule has one caveat to watch out for:
* it only applies, if the practitioner gets very timely **FEEDBACK!**

This means, you can exercise the violin "alone" for 3 hours a day for 10 years (which is roughly 10.000 hours) and still be far behind someone who takes lessons with a skilled teacher for only 2 years, ~ something along the lines...

Another example would be INVESTMENT/TRADING. Since the nature of most investment strategies is such, that there is no immediate feedback (to measure your success you would need to wait for many trades and many weeks/months/years) the 10.000 Hour Rule also doesn't apply.

So before you get hyped and carve out your 10 year plan to become an EXPERT in your field, first make sure, that there is a way to get very timely or immediate feedback.

Cheers!

Thanks for the information 😉😉

10 000 Hours very interesting , did you wash my car looks great :-)

Wow! I really did think it was less than 10,000 hours. Must be on the lower scale here, but I am working it!

Hey @longfield98 , would love to offer to come onto my podcast sometime.

It is about people doing remarkable things, whether entrepreneurs or not.
Where we talk about what you are doing, believe in and what difference you are making in the world.
It is part youtube channel where the mission is to help 1,000,000 entrepreneurs become remarkable, and the podcast acts as a way to share stories and connect with people.

Here is the playlist of the existing episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5CpCNPna6p95oJfKPew0N3ZT0k-khdgg

It is audio only over skype. Would love you to come on the show and talk about yourself. Does this sound of interest to you?
