Yesterday I introduced the “Four T’s” of faster skill building: talent, teaching, training, and time. Today let’s look at four zones of the skill-building process.
Order matters here. Wanting and trying to skip zones slows you down and undermines your biggest goals. Working and advancing zone-by-zone speeds you up and progresses toward your biggest goals.
Zone 1: Do it.
- Are you doing any work?
- Are you using any time?
Zone 2: Do it better and faster.
- Are you understanding more and processing quicker?
- Are you making any improvement, however small?
Zone 3: Do it reliably well.
- Are you improving consistency?
- Are you creating more confidence?
Zone 4: Do it better than most.
- Are you pushing past average?
- Are you using your advantage?
Embrace the chase. Do the work.
