World Class VS The Best

BUT — I’ve discovered it takes much less — usually around 1,000 hours of practicing something to become at least world-class at it. And world class is NOT a bad place to be in for most skills/talents/abilities. (this is also why I say achieve “almost” any goal… because if your goal is to be the very best… you DO need to be extremely driven and motivated)

You see, most REALLY high-achievers, the best in their respective fields often live a VERY unbalanced life — where other parts of their lives have been totally neglected to achieve whatever goal they’re obsessed with. That’s why so many high achievers have horrible relationships with their families, are divorced, etc…

Plus, for me at least, once I gain a high level of competency in a new skill or realize I’m at a certain level — I would rather seek out new skills, new challenges, and new ways to test myself — rather than try to be the absolute best at one thing at the expense of all others.

The choice is up to you — but I’m here to tell you it’s VERY possible to become world class in a number of desirable skills, just for example:

I’ve been a black belt for 8.5 years in Taekwondo and have won national and international titles (both in forms and sparring respectively)…
I can walk up to virtually any woman in virtually any situation and start a conversation — a completely “cold approach” — and I’ve done this, literally, hundreds of times. (something the average male is said to do only 7 times in his entire life, and most of those times while extremely drunk)
I’ve started multiple businesses and currently run two of them and my income is growing year after year…
I’ve written a 4 books, and co-authored 3 other products (counting off the top of my head here, but it’s probably more) in various industries and will continue pumping out more each year…

And there’s more, but my effort here is not to brag, but just to show you that it’s possible to accomplish many different goals and achieve many different things and even become world-class in many different pursuits. And the best part.
I Did It All Without a Single Ounce Of Motivation!

So I’ve decided to write a top 25 list of ways to achieve almost any goal… without… a single drop of motivation. Why? Because Rusty Moore over at Fitness Black Book tagged me to write a top 25 post.

Here is How This One Works

The rules…

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a post with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose five more people to be tagged. You also have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you. To do this, you simply link to their blogs so that they know you responded to their tag.
