  • I REMEMBER AT COLLEGE, I HAD TO TAKE A BUNCH OF CLASSES

  • THAT I WASN'T INTERESTED IN. AND EACH CLASS ONLY LASTED

  • ABOUT 53 MINUTES. AND I WOULD LOOK AT THE CLOCK

  • EVERY TWO MINUTES, I COULDN'T FOCUS ON ANYTHING,

  • AND I COULDN'T WAIT FOR THE CLASS TO BE OVER.

  • WELL, MAYBE I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN A PRESCRIPTION FOR SOME ADDERALL.

  • OR MAYBE NOT, BECAUSE I CAN NOW WORK ON PROJECTS

  • THAT I'M INTERESTED IN FOR 20 HOURS STRAIGHT.

  • AND THIS IS WHY EVERYONE'S BASICALLY MEDIOCRE AT WHAT THEY DO.

  • AS SOON AS YOU'RE A LITTLE KID, YOUR PARENTS START PRESSURING YOU

  • TO BECOME SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T INTEREST YOU.

  • I MEAN, YOU WANT TO BE A COMPOSER? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

  • AND NOT ONLY ARE PEOPLE AROUND YOU CONSTANTLY PRESSURING YOU,

  • BUT THEN YOU START TO PRESSURE YOURSELF... "WELL, YOU KNOW, MAYBE I CAN MAKE MORE MONEY

  • BEING A DOCTOR. I KNOW I CAN'T STOP PLAYING THE PIANO

  • DAY AND NIGHT, BUT MAYBE BEING A DOCTOR

  • IS A SAFER CHOICE." AND THEN YOU END UP

  • IN A CLASS LEARNING ABOUT THE KREBS CYCLE AND LOOKING AT THE CLOCK EVERY TWO MINUTES.

  • AND THAT'S OUR PROBLEM. WE HAVE TOO MANY MOZARTS

  • WHO WERE FORCED TO BECOME A DOCTOR. AND THEN YOU GO VISIT

  • THAT MOZART DOCTOR WHEN YOU'RE SICK, AND YOU CAN JUST TELL THAT HE DOESN'T GIVE

  • A SHIT. HE HANDS YOU THE PRESCRIPTION AND THEN YOU

  • LEAVE.

  • NOW, I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH QUITE A FEW DOCTORS, AND IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME WHEN I WALK IN THERE

  • KNOWING MORE ABOUT MY CONDITION THAN HE DOES. AND I DON'T EVEN BLAME HIM!

  • HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE A DOCTOR, HE WANTED TO BE A COMPOSER.

  • NOW HE GOES HOME, AND INSTEAD OF BEING EXCITED ABOUT

  • FINDING A SOLUTION TO MY CONDITION, HE WATCHES TV.

  • HE'S NOT MISSING OUT ON SLEEP BECAUSE HE'S RESEARCHING TOO MUCH,

  • HE CAN'T EVEN WAIT TO LEAVE WORK.

  • DON'T GIVE INTO THAT PRESSURE! YEAH, YOU MIGHT END UP WITH A GOOD JOB,

  • A NICE CAR, A NICE HOUSE, I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THAT.

  • BUT I WILL GUARANTEE YOU ONE THING. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE AT MASTERY.

  • BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DEDICATE THE REQUIRED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS

  • OF HOURS TO IT. BECAUSE YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE

  • TO WAKE UP AND WORK ON SOMETHING UNTIL YOU FALL ASLEEP.

  • THEN DREAM ABOUT IT, AND WAKE UP AND START DOING IT AGAIN.

  • YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE!

  • AND HERE'S THE THING... I'M NOT EVEN COMING FROM SOME ROMANTIC PLACE

  • OF YOU SHOULD PROBABLY DO WHAT YOU ENJOY IN LIFE,

  • WHICH IS PROBABLY THE BEST ADVICE I COULD GIVE.

  • BUT FORGER THAT, I'M COMING FROM A PURELY MASTERY PERSPECTIVE.

  • YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF HOURS

  • INTO YOUR CRAFT TO BECOME A MASTER. THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION!

  • AND YOU'RE SIMPLY, PHYSICALLY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT

  • IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW YOUR INCLINATION AND DO WHAT YOU'RE DEEPLY INTERESTED IN.

  • THE WHOLE IDEA HERE IS THAT YOU HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME.

  • YOU CAN'T BE SPENDING DAYS AND WEEKS FIGURING THINGS OUT ON YOUR OWN

  • WHEN YOU CAN BE TAUGHT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

  • SO HERE ARE THE THREE STEPS THAT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW

  • WITH YOUR APPRENTICESHIP.

  • FIRST: DEEP OBSERVATION. YOU WALK IN THERE.

  • YOU'RE NOT MAKING THE MISTAKE OF ASSERTING YOURSELF LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

  • YOU DON'T TRY TO SHOW EVERYONE HOW TALENTED YOU ARE.

  • YOU DON'T TRY TO INVENT THINGS.

  • THIS IS A TIME TO OBSERVE EVERYTHING. HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?

  • WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL IN MY NICHE DOING?

  • NOW, NOT A 100% OF WHAT YOU OBSERVE AND LEARN IS GOING TO BE RIGHT OR OPTIMAL

  • IN ANY APPRENTICESHIP OR FROM ANY MENTOR. BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

  • THIS IS NOT YOUR TIME TO TELL PEOPLE HOW YOU'VE RESEARCHED THINGS ON YOUR OWN

  • AND HAVE FOUND MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS OF DOING THINGS.

  • SECOND: SKILLS ACQUISITION THIS IS WHERE YOU START PUTTING IN YOUR 10,000

  • HOURS THAT EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT.

  • IF YOU'RE A WRITER, YOU'RE WRITING ALL DAY,

  • YOU'RE RACKING UP THOSE HOURS.

  • AND FINALLY, ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THAT AND YOU'RE READY,

  • YOU TAKE EVERYTHING YOU'VE LEARNED, YOU TAKE THAT FOUNDATION AND SKILL,

  • AND PUT YOUR OWN UNIQUENESS ON IT AND CREATE SOMETHING GREAT.

  • THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO START IMPLEMENTING THAT THING THAT YOU RESEARCHED

  • THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU MORE EFFICIENT.

  • SO THAT'S THE MODEL, AND I SEE PEOPLE IGNORING IT ALL THE TIME,

  • DON'T IGNORE IT. THE FOUNDATION IS VERY SIMILAR FOR EVERYTHING.

  • YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE PERSON LEARNING HOW TO DO THE FOUNDATION ALL ON HIS OWN.

  • PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME, "HOW DO I START A BUSINESS?"

  • WELL, LET'S SAY IT'S AN ONLINE BUSINESS, FOLLOW THE THREE STEPS.

  • TAKE THE SUCCESSFUL ONES YOU WANT TO BE LIKE. WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

  • "OH LOOK AT THAT, THEIR WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE THIS."

  • "THEY GIVE A LOT OF VALUE FOR FREE, I WONDER WHY A BUNCH OF CAPITALIST PIGS WOULD

  • DO THAT." "WELL, BUT LOOK AT THAT,

  • THEY ALSO HAVE A PRODUCT. LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THEY TRY TO SELL

  • IT TO YOU." YOU DO YOUR DEEP OBSERVATION.

  • NOW YOU'VE LEARNED HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PUT IN YOUR HOURS

  • TO CREATE YOUR WEBSITE, CREATE YOUR PRODUCT,

  • START DOING YOUR MARKETING.

  • NOW AGAIN, LET'S SAY YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING ON A PLATFORM

  • LIKE WORDPRESS, YOU CAN EITHER WATCH A GUY EXPLAIN THE FOUNDATION

  • OF WORDPRESS TO YOU IN A COUPLE OF HOURS,

  • OR YOU CAN LEARN ON YOUR OWN FOR WEEKS. BY THE WAY,

  • THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THE TIME THAT WE LIVE IN AS WELL,

  • YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO KNOW PEOPLE FOR THEM TO BE YOUR MENTOR.

  • NOW FINALLY, YOU'RE NOT JUST CREATING A COPY OF SOMEONE

  • ELSE'S BUSINESS, THAT WAS JUST THE FOUNDATION.

  • NOW YOU PUT YOUR OWN UNIQUENESS ON THE WEBSITE, YOU CREATE A PRODUCT THAT'S BETTER,

  • YOU TAKE THE GENERAL IDEAS OF MARKETING BUT DO IT BETTER.

  • AND THAT IS HOW YOU END UP WITH A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

  • I LOVE THE FACT THAT THIS IS INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE KEYS.

  • EVERY MASTERY BOOK TALKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THINGS LIKE PRACTICE,

  • WHICH IS CRUCIAL BUT SO IS SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

  • YOU'LL BE MESSING UP ALL THE OTHER KEYS WITHOUT IT.

  • LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THEM... FOLLOWING YOUR INCLINATION.

  • YOU HAVE CONTROLLING PARENTS AND INSTEAD OF APPEASING THEM,

  • AND MAKING THEM FEEL IMPORTANT, AND TELLING THEM HOW YOU CAN'T WAIT TO BE

  • WHATEVER THEY'RE FORCING YOU TO BE, YOU START CONFLICT.

  • THEY KICK YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE, YOU HAVEN'T DEVELOPED YOUR SKILLS YET,

  • SO NOW YOU'RE WORKING AT MCDONALDS, INSTEAD OF BEING FED BY MOMMY AT HOME

  • WHILE YOU DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS.

  • SAME THING WITH APPRENTICESHIP. TRYING TO WALK IN THERE

  • AND SHOW PEOPLE HOW HARD WORKING AND TALENTED YOU ARE.

  • YOU THINK IT'S GREAT. THEY'RE REALLY GOING TO APPRECIATE YOU NOW.

  • EXCEPT FOR, THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY'RE THINKING AT ALL.

  • YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER APPEAR TOO PERFECT,

  • AND EVENTUALLY THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND GET RID OF YOU.

  • SAME THING WITH MENTORS. FIRST OF ALL,

  • GOOD LUCK GETTING A GOOD MENTOR WITHOUT SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

  • BUT LET'S ASSUME THAT YOU SOMEHOW DID. YOU START TO SHARE WITH HIM ALL THE GREAT

  • IDEAS YOU HAVE. YOU WANT HIM TO BE REALLY IMPRESSED BY YOU,

  • BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER OUTSHINE YOUR MASTER.

  • SO YOU GET HIM INSECURE AND HE GETS RID OF YOU.

  • I SEE THIS ALL THE TIME. OTHERWISE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO

  • WILLING TO PUT IN ALL THE HARD WORK

  • GETTING THROWN OFF THE PATH TO MASTERY, AND ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T CULTIVATE ANY SOCIAL

  • INTELLIGENCE.

  • IF YOU HAD READ CARNEGIE'S HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE

  • PEOPLE AND GREENE'S THE 48 LAWS OF POWER,

  • YOU WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY OF THESE MISTAKES.

  • BY THE WAY, THESE ARE TWO BOOKS THAT EVERYONE MUST READ,

  • EVEN THOUGH I USUALLY DON'T LIKE TO SAY THAT ANYONE HAS TO READ ANYTHING.

  • SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THREE TYPES OF MINDS: THE ORIGINAL MIND,

  • THE CONVENTIONAL MIND, AND THE DIMENSIONAL MIND.

  • HERE'S THE ORIGINAL MIND. LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A LITTLE KID WHO WANTS

  • TO BE A TEACHER WHEN HE GROWS UP.

  • AND YOU ASK HIM, "HEY KID, WHAT SCHOOL DO YOU WANT TO TEACH

  • AT?" YOU MIGHT GET A CRAZY ANSWER LIKE,

  • "I'M GOING TO TEACH THE ENTIRE WORLD." AND YOU'RE LIKE,

  • "OH, THAT'S REALLY SWEET." THAT'S THE ORIGINAL MIND.

  • IT'S CRAZY. IT'S CREATIVE.

  • THEN YOU HAVE THE CONVENTIONAL MIND. AND THIS WOULD BE ONE OF MY OLD PHD PROFESSORS

  • AT COLLEGE. IF YOU ASKED ONE OF THEM,

  • "HEY, WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TEACH?" YOU MIGHT GET AN ANSWER LIKE,

  • "WELL, OF COURSE, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE HARVARD!" THAT'S THE BEST THING HIS MIND CAN COME UP

  • WITH. A CLASS OF 15 STUDENTS AT HARVARD.

  • NOW, THIS PROFESSOR MIGHT HAVE PUT IN THOUSANDS OF HOURS INTO ECONOMICS,

  • MIGHT KNOW ALL THE FACTS ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT HIS MIND HAS LOST ALL OF ITS ELASTICITY.

  • HE CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING CRAZY ANYMORE. HE CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING CREATIVE ANYMORE.

  • FINALLY, YOU HAVE THE DIMENSIONAL MIND. AND THE DIMENSIONAL MIND COMBINES

  • THE CRAZINESS AND THE CREATIVITY OF THE ORIGINAL MIND,

  • WITH THE MASTERY OF THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF EXPERTISE.

  • AND WHEN YOU COMBINE THESE TWO, THAT'S WHEN YOU END UP WITH TRUE MASTERY.

  • THE CHILD HAS THE ORIGINAL MIND WHICH IS GREAT, BUT HE HASN'T CULTIVATED THE SKILL TO DO ANYTHING

  • GREAT WITH IT. THE OLD PROFESSOR HAS CULTIVATED THE SKILL,

  • BUT HAS SUPPRESSED HIS ORIGINAL MIND COMPLETELY IN THE PROCESS.

  • SO HE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING GREAT EITHER.

  • NOW LET'S GO BACK TO TEACHING THE ENTIRE WORLD. SOUNDS PRETTY CRAZY RIGHT?

  • ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT THAT CRAZY. IT'S CALLED YOUTUBE.

  • IT'S CALLED THE INTERNET. IF THE OLD PROFESSOR HAD MAINTAINED THE ORIGINAL

  • MIND, HE WOULDN'T SAY SOMETHING STUPID LIKE,

  • "YOUTUBE? ISN'T THAT THE PLACE FOR CAT VIDEOS?" "UHH, NO THANKS, KID. I HAVE A PHD.

  • I HAVE TO GET UP AT 6 TOMORROW TO GO TO MY MEDIOCRE COLLEGE AND ACTUALLY

  • TEACH." ALRIGHT PROFESSOR,

  • GOOD LUCK TEACHING IN YOUR LITTLE CLASSROOM UNTIL YOU DIE.

  • HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE... WHAT IF I GO UP TO HIM AND SAY,

  • "HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO DRY WHEN YOU TEACH."

  • "I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF SUCCESS TELLING STORIES SO PEOPLE CAN RESONATE WITH

  • IT AND DRAWING STUPID LITTLE CARTOONS

  • SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY FOLLOW ALONG." DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN HIS MIND AT THAT

  • POINT? "STORIES? DRAWING? I HAVE A PHD!

  • I CAN'T ENGAGE IN SUCH FRIVOLOUS MATTERS!" AND I'M LIKE,

  • "UH, WELL, BUT, BEING LIGHTHEARTED AND LEARNING SOMETHING

  • NEW DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE,

  • RIGHT?" AND HE'S LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN

  • KID, IF IT'S NOT DRY, IT'S FRIVOLOUS."

  • OH AND HE HAS A PHD. YOU GET THE POINT...

  • YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN YOUR ORIGINAL MIND. COMBINE THAT WITH THE THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF

  • PRACTICING YOUR SKILL, AND THEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE AT DOING GREAT,

  • AMAZING THINGS.

  • THAT COMBINATION IS THE POWER OF THE DIMENSIONAL MIND.

  • AGAIN, WE HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MINDS. THE INTUITIVE MIND,

  • AND THE RATIONAL MIND.

  • BOTH ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. BUT WE TEND TO VALUE THE RATIONAL MIND AND

  • IGNORE THE INTUITIVE MIND.

  • LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. LET'S SAY

  • YOU'VE SPENT THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF HOURS INVESTING IN COMPANIES AND PRODUCTS.

  • NOW SOMEONE PRESENTS TO YOU THEIR COMPANY OR PRODUCT,

  • AND YOU CAN JUST SENSE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE.

  • NOW YOU MIGHT HAVE OTHER FRIEND INVESTORS TELL YOU

  • "YOU'RE CRAZY! YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH BECAUSE OF THIS METHOD

  • OF VALUATION, AND THIS EQUATION AND THAT EQUATION."

  • BUT IF YOU'VE DONE THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, YOU MIGHT BE SEEING SOMETHING THAT OTHER PEOPLE

  • CAN'T SEE. IT'S ALMOST HARD TO EXPLAIN,

  • BUT AFTER ALL THOSE HOURS, EVERYTHING STARTS TO COME TOGETHER.

  • YOU START TO SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE.

  • NOW, I'VE BEEN PLAYING THE PIANO FOR OVER A DECADE.

  • WHEN I FIRST STARTED, I HAD TO BE VERY RATIONAL ABOUT EVERYTHING.

  • IT WAS LIKE, I'M GOING TO PLAY C NOW.

  • NOW I'M GOING TO PLAY D.

  • BUT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, SOMETIMES I LIKE TO SIT DOWN AND JUST PLAY

  • AROUND AND COMPOSE, AND MY FINGERS JUST KIND OF RUN AROUND ON

  • THEIR OWN. IT'S WEIRD.

  • THERE'S ALMOST NO RATIONALITY INVOLVED, BUT SOMEHOW MY FINGERS KNOW WHERE TO GO.

  • AND KEEP IN MIND, THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN JUST A HOBBY FOR ME.

  • TO THINK ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN A PERSON'S HEAD

  • WHO'S PLAYED FOR YEARS AND YEARS FOCUSING ON BECOMING A MASTER

  • IS KIND OF SCARY FOR ME TO EVEN THINK ABOUT.

  • NOW, THERE'S NOTHING SUPERNATURAL HERE. IN FACT, YOU CAN USE THE RATIONAL MIND TO

  • EXPLAIN IN RETROSPECT WHY FACEBOOK MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GREAT INVESTMENT,

  • OR WHY SOME CHORD GOES WELL WITH SOME KEY. BUT THE INTUITIVE MIND HAS A HUGE ADVANTAGE

  • OVER THE RATIONAL MIND IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THIS.

  • MASTERS ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS BECAUSE THEY CAN COMBINE THE INTUITIVE WITH

  • THE RATIONAL.

  • ALRIGHT EVERYONE, THAT WAS MASTERY BY ROBERT GREENE.

  • ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS. DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS.

  • AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME, WHAT BOOKS DO YOU RECOMMEND?

  • WELL IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS ONE, DEFINITELY READ THIS

  • ALONG WITH THE 48 LAWS OF POWER.

  • AND I JUST WANNA SAY A HUGE THANK YOU TO ROBERT GREENE.

  • FIGHTMEDIOCRITY'S ACTUALLY GETTING ABOUT 10 OF HIS MASTERY BOOKS,

  • WHICH IS REALLY REALLY COOL AND I'M SO EXCITED, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE THEM AWAY TO YOU

  • GUYS. SO IF YOU WANT ONE OF THOSE FREE COPIES,

  • I'LL BE POSTING THE DETAILS BELOW THE VIDEO HERE ON YOUTUBE.

  • ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THIS, THANKS FOR WATCHING, AND HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!

  • :)
