1. Mastery – The Boring Component of Success
By Alex Work, YourGoalSetting.com
Acquiring mastery takes time and persistence. It takes an unwavering belief in yourself that you
can accomplish it, and more importantly, it requires this type of focus over an extended period
of time.
There is a reason that few people reach the master levels in their fields; for most industries, it
takes a long time. For most people, as soon as they see how long achieving mastery will take,
they pack their bags and look for an easier route.
For you, this is great news. The more difficult the road, the less travelers. The amount of
opportunity at the end of the road corresponds with the difficulty and small numbers of people
willing to put the work in.
Mastery Brings About a Sense of Fearlessness. Once you have mastered something, whether it
is a skill, sport, language or attitude, you elevate yourself above the common folk. You seem to
almost play and work at a higher level. Once you are here, you are more aggressive with
opportunities. The people who trail blaze and set new heights are the masters in their field.
Mastery Gives You Power. The knowledge and expertise you have gives you immense power.
You can influence people and groups. You can dictate trends and fads. You command respect
and authority from knowing what you are doing. People will flock to you for advice and counsel,
and many will pay for your advice and/or services.
Mastery Unleashes Opportunity. Once you have attained mastery, options and opportunities
mysteriously cluster towards you. People want to associate with the best and the informed. You
realize good opportunities when you see them, and you have an enlightened sense of what is a
good idea and what is not.
