You Got 10,000 hours to Spare?


When I went to SXSW (South by Soutwest) in March, a life skills teacher stated that after careful studies done on Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Tiger Woods that they all had something in common that made them excellent at their sport. No it wasn't talent, nor the team, nor luck. They all told the researchers the same thing which was that they all spent a lot of time practicing and playing. When they told the researchers what age they had started playing all the way up to their prime, the researchers discovered that all three of them had played over 10,000 hours of their sport each! How does this apply to you? Well, how much time have you been in the studio, rehearsing, recording, or promoting? I think I'll leave it at that for today, and let you figure out the rest.
