This has been a great book to help me develop my own expectative, it makes think how to be successful, I learned that exist certain principles and processes behind success that if I follow it will help me to become more successful. Whenever someone is successful in a certain area of life, what that really means is they have mastered the laws of cause and effect in that particular area. Success is not a chance; success is mastery.
I learned that mastery is the process where what was difficult becomes both easier and more pleasurable, I must gain mental discipline to travel further on my journey, and I need to be diligent with the process of mastery.
After I had climb the top of the mountain, I must climb another, I must be patient while I am applying the long-term efforts, I must demonstrate courage, and maintain flexibility in my strategies and in my actions.
Exists types that are in opposition of mastery:
The Dabbler is one who starts many new things and makes good progress initially, if I’m not constantly and actively growing I press myself harder and faster. Eventually the Obsessive burns out and move on to something else.
The obsessive, lives for the growth spurt in a skill.
The Obsessive’s learning curve rises quickly, meets obstacles, which the Obsessive tackles by redoubling his effort, getting more books and tools and trying to figure out ways to get better results faster and cheaper, and then burns out in a short while when he finds that the curve is not a straight line upwards.
The Hacker, once the Hacker has passed over the first major growth spurt and is on the first plateau he just stays there. He does not actively spend time trying to learn and grow. He just tinkers with the bit of skill he has developed and remains satisfied at that level. The Hacker’s learning curve rises quickly, meets an obstacle or two and then plateaus out on a straight line. The Hacker does not consider the need for more instruction or rising above that level. He is content with level reached and plans to stay at that level.
Keys of Mastery:
The first key is instruction. Leonard recommends that to be on the road to mastery the pupil needs an instructor. The second key is practice. Any music student has heard this over and over again. Without practice, the instruction is wasted. The third key is surrender.
The concept of surrender refers to being willing to fail at attempts to become better. The fourth key is intentionality. This is “keeping your mind in the game” or “your eye on the prize”. The idea here is to maintain a clear vision of where you are trying to go (even if you never get there).
The final key to mastery is the “edge” or the constant urge to challenge and press the limits. This is what keeps the student from complacency and keeps the student moving forward on the path.Having a conscious awareness of the process of mastery has helped me in every area of life, especially on my personal development quest to become a successful entrepreneur, and in with my possibilities, I would help others to develop their potential.
After all, success in any endeavor is really just about mastery.
