Many folks are chasing the latest or best skill to learn. But there’s a “meta” skill that’s even more important.
Because whether you want to get good on camera, race a car, or hit the perfect serve…
You’ve got to get really, really good… at being really, really bad.
The reality is that the first time you try something, you’re going to suck.
But that’s OK – it’s the same for everybody.
Everyone who’s great at something now… was really, really bad at it when they first started. There’s a reason literally every autobiography talks about this…
Grammy award-winning rockstars talk about playing to empty dive bars…
Bestselling authors talk about getting rejected over and over…
Entrepreneurs talk about all the launches that flopped…
The first 10, 20, or 30 hours of doing anything new are always going to be tough…
You WILL forget your lines…
You WILL veer off the track…
You WILL totally whiff the ball…
But here’s another truth – if you keep going…
You WILL get better…
You WILL build new skills…
You WILL start to make real progress…
You don’t have to love being bad – or even like it. You just need to get through it… to the other side. And it’s worth it…
Because those first hours are where the gold is…
