Or how to run a team or how to stick your projects in a sauna or whatever it is. Right. Yeah. And it doesn't matter whether you're old, you're young, you're male, you're female, you're black, white, Asian, whatever, right? It just needs doing. And I think that a lot of people waste a lot of time Not starting. And so I've told this analogy before.

We've probably heard it, but I'll say for your audience, there is a study. There's probably a lot of studies been done on this, but you can become proficient in any skill in about 20 hours. So playing the piano, riding a bike, whatever, 20 hours of concentrated effort gets you proficient. It's the largest gain in skill improvement is 20 hours of concentrated effort.

The problem is, is that people will wait a decade to start the first hour. And so you'd be amazed at how much progress you can make if you cut down the time between when you acknowledge the work and when you start doing the work. And I think that over time in my career, what has happened is just that my delay between when I realize I need to do something and when I start doing it has just shrunk.

So that I can get to the gain and proficiency that much faster. And then if you think about that over 10 years, right? Where one guy does nothing and then he starts. And another guy does 20 hours and 20 hours and 20 hours and 20 hours and 20 hours and 20 hours. By the end of that decade, they're not even recognizable. They're not even the same stratosphere.

I don't think there is something else. I'll qualify this, which is that the work needs feedback. So you gain proficiency with expert eyes giving you feedback on the work you do. Because if I, I'll give you the content example. If I post a short every day for 10 years and I don't change what I'm doing and I just post the same thing, I might not make any progress.

And I know people who've been doing, who've done, made content for 10 years and they have the same size following, right? Because they don't learn, they don't improve. Like, I'm going to rewind real quick on this. Is that... The work is required for you, not for the output. Somebody who naturally gets it on the first try, who really just understands it. And this is an easy example.

If Mr. Beast's account got canceled tomorrow, He can start another one and get it to millions and millions of followers because he has the skill. And so it's not that the output requires him to go work for five years in order to build the following. His skill required him to work for five years to get the skill. But then the output does the work after that.
