Three phases of acquiring a new skill
1. Cognitive phase-- Learning the skill. You make alot of mistakes and it's uncomfortable.

2. Associative phase--start getting good at the skill. Make fewer mistakes. Get in the grove

3. Autonomous phase-- Muscle memory kicks in and you don't even think about it any more. you are good enough at it. You are not motivated to improve.


3 Techniques to get of the Good Enough Zone

1. They focus on improving performance and technique
2. They focus on the end result they want to achieve
3. They seek feed back regarding their performance


Deliberate practice is more important that number of hours practiced.

Progress is more important than mastery

Dialed In For Success Episode 14—The Arrival Fallacy
Show Notes
I first heard of the arrival fallacy on the Internet Business Mastery  podcast
Comes from the book Happier by Tal-Ben Shahar
The Arrival Fallacy—“The false belief that reaching a valued destination can sustain happiness (p.25)
As you get closer to the event, you adapt to your environment and return to  your happiness setpoint
 
CORRECTION: at 3:30 into the podcast, I reference Jim Belushi as an example of the arrival fallacy. In fact, I meant to reference his brother John Belushi. Jim Belushi is alive and well.
 
Types of Arrival fallacies

The Happiness Arrival Fallacy:  I’ll be happy when….

Something has to happen before I will give myself permission to be happy


The Readiness Arrival Fallacy:  I’ll be ready when…

Something has to happen in order for me to feel worthy of having something in my life


The Enlightenment Arrival Fallacy:  I’ll understand when…

Something has to happen before I can be a better person or live life by higher values

All arrival fallacies are based on the idea that whatever you want to experience comes from outside yourself.
The decision to be happy or ready or enlightened is determined by a decision to have that in your life.
Take-Away
Make a decision to be happy or ready or enlightened. Regardless of what you want in your life, make a decision to have it today.

Keep your goal, destination or purpose in the forefront of you mind.
Wealthy people keep their goals in mind no matter what they’re doing.
When you always keep your goal in mind, you form associations that you wouldn’t otherwise. Overtime you piece these associations together to unlock the key to achieving your goal.

So You Want to Build a Platform?Show Notes:
If I had to start all over again, here are the five things I would do to build a platform
 
Set up a blog or website as my Home base of Operations
free blogging platforms  are quick and easy                                                   
Also paid platforms
Self-hosted
Use your own domain name. Gives you the most control 
Paid Hosted
Empower Network- I use Empower Network because with good keyword research and back links, I’ve been hitting 1st page of Google SearchTraffic Rankings: Top  250 in the U.S. Top 500  in the world (Alexa.com)
Affilate Link.
BTW.  Other than my own name, I had never hit the 1st page of Google until  I started using their blogging platform along with my own.
Have a Facebook Page for my Online Message.
You can use other Social Media sites, but Facebook is still king
Use Twitter
 
Start a Podcast
YouTube
Reminders:

Always drive traffic back to your Home Base
Never be held hostage to one content platform
