Successful people constantly learn, grow and look for one new breakthrough to self-mastery
Anyone who thinks they know everything or are unwilling to learn will eventually stagnate and stop growing. We are already dying when we are not growing, learning, and improving. Even as a Grand Master of the martial arts, a physique competitor, National Champion mountain bike athlete, ?an author of a personal development book, and a peak business coach for elite professionals, I too still learn from my mentor, Grand Master Kim; I have personal training coaches and a peak performance business coach I pay and learn from. You know what? I already know most of the material and knowledge they teach and review. At times, Grand Master Kim repeats topics he has been teaching me for over thirty years. My new mindset and business coach share the same content and strategies I teach my clients. But through my journey in personal development and self-mastery, I know that fundamentals with constant repetition are exactly what I need to become a master at anything. Even when we are masters of a trade, sport, or concept, masters still practice the basics, especially regarding mindset and we all need accountability to get yo the next level.?
A client once told me that it wasn't his first rodeo with personal development. Then I asked him, “You mastered this? Practice this daily. Memorized this practice over ten thousand hours?” That's like me learning a spinning hook kick for the first time, practicing it once or twice, and thinking I'm a fricken master. I love when clients say this shit! Especially this younger generation of professionals who seem to get “bored” with self-mastery. They want to skip white or even red belt levels and learn black belt concepts. But even when my black belts become black belts, meaning the business clients I've been working with for years and now are millionaires and top producers, they know, respect and honor their basic mindset skills to stay sharp, just like a black belt who is now learning second-degree black belt techniques but still practicing their basics.
?By repeated practice to the foundational mindset principles, we become masters of our inner world. True masters honor those principles and continue go through multiple layers of breakthroughs taking them to higher levels of production and growth.?
