The Only Two Ways You Can Become the Best in the World
Working harder than everyone else at something is NOT how you become the best in the world. Yes, you must work hard to become the best in the world. This goes without saying. However, hard work does not separate those who are great and those who are greater.
On the contrary, there are specific skills, strategies, and training techniques that separate the best from the rest. Moreover, there are only two ways to acquire this knowledge and execute on it.
1) Learn from the best and copy what they do
- Identify the best performers in your field using an objective measurement.
- Do the research to figure out exactly what specific skills, strategies, and training techniques they use to enable them to perform at their best.
- Practice for thousands of hours to teach yourself how to copy what they are doing to near perfection.
- Figure out how to incorporate what makes you unique to customize those skills, strategies, and training techniques to fit your strengths as you continually practice improving.
2) Hire a coach who can teach you how to copy what the best people do
- Hire a coach who has experience both coaching the best performers and helping people become the best by improving from a skill level similar to you.
- Spend thousands of hours learning from the coach the specific skills, strategies, and training techniques you need to become the best.
- Continue to get feedback from the coach as you practice those specific skills, strategies, and training techniques for thousands of hours on your own.
