13258: The First 95 vs The Last 5: An Unexpected Split

from The VOHeroes Podcast · host David H. Lawrence XVII

Hey there, hero!The amount of effort it takes to learn something new, and to become facile at something, can seem like a humongous effort; once you get to a point of competence, you can and should feel really good about that accomplishment.It's a good 95% of the full journey to get to that point. Enjoy. You've worked really long and hard to get there.To then become really expert at something...to continue the honing and refining of that last 5%...is not likely to take just 5% of the time it took to get to where you are.In fact, it's likely to take a similar amount of time - or longer - to explore and implement that final 5%. You might never even stop the process of perfecting your skills, especially if you're eternally curious.And that's a good thing.I'd love to know what your expectations are. How long do you think it's going to take you to be good at something? How long are you planning to take to become totally expert at performing? Are you at peace with that split of the effort?
