Mastery

Mastery / What for?

Have you ever wanted to be really good at a sport, skill or any kind of ability? I have, and I have failed many times; but George Leonard’s book ‘’Mastery’’ gave me a new perspective of why I have failed and how I can be better in anything I do.

Learning occurs by little moments of improvement that happen every now and then. Most of our time is spent on ‘’the plateau’’ or those long periods of time of repetitive practice in which we feel we don’t improve at all. The secret for mastery is to love the plateau and persevere.

I will start applying that to learning German, playing the guitar, learning about business and becoming an entrepreneur. Mastery is a path that never ends.

Why do you want to be an entrepreneur? What is a business for? What is the reason of doing all these things?

Those are great questions to ask yourself. I want to be an entrepreneur because I want to reach my potential, be free and create something meaningful for society so I can feel that my work was worth it. A business is meant to solve a problem and create value, as well as providing opportunities, rewarding those who take risks and providing for many families. I invite whoever reads this to ask him/herself these same questions and maybe think about business in a new way.
