The book “Outliers: The Story of Success” by Malcolm Gladwell was one of my favourite reads circling around the theme of mastering your craft.

The book explores factors that contributed to the high levels of success of some individuals.

It dissects the steps of how Bill Gates created the world’s largest PC software company, Microsoft, as well as how Joseph Flom transformed Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates into one of the most powerful law firms in the world.

In the second chapter, Gladwell introduces the concept of the “10 000-Hour Rule” and how it helped the Beatles become world famous musicians by having the opportunity to perform live as a group in Hamburg, Germany over 1200 times between 1960 and 1964.

Although they initially started at strip clubs, they accumulated more than 10 000 hours by playing nonstop.

Throughout his book, Gladwell repeatedly refers to the “10 000-hour rule,” asserting that the key to achieving true expertise in any skill is simply a matter of practicing, albeit in the correct way, for at least 10 000 hours.

I’ve spent almost 20,000 hours training people in person over a 10+ year period.

Despite not going the traditional route of formal education, I dedicated my life to genuinely caring about helping others.

To this day, I’m still a student, and forever will be.

By no means am I a master of my craft, even after 30,000 or 60,000 hours I spend training people.

To all my clients(past, present, future ones), I owe it to you for my endless pursuit of education and knowledge.

Even if it’s a page out of a book, or a 2 minute video clip, every day I get to wake up doing what I love.
