PPI #82: 1 Surprising Truth About Achieving Mastery The 2% with Eric Partaker

    • Self-Improvement

We all know that goals are important, but to achieve mastery, we must learn to love the plateaus. The plateaus are those times, when you feel like you're making no progress at all, when you feel like giving up and when you feel like you shouldn't have even maybe started working toward the goal, those are the times that we need to learn to embrace.
Look to treat them as the signals that they are. That if you keep your head down and if you just keep hammering away, keep plowing away at whatever it is, that your next spur of achievement is just around the corner.
Success is not linear. It's more like a stair step, having success for some time and then no success and then some more success.
The path to mastery involves showing up day after day, diligent, persistent, patient practice, day after day.
