Not always; I can do my job in my sleep but I'm barely expert in it... I think expertise is the next level beyond that - where you are pushing ideas of your own

Not always; I can do my job in my sleep but I'm barely expert in it... I think expertise is the next level beyond that - where you are pushing ideas of your own into what you do.
- MaysonL 16y agoOne job I had back in the 70s, I occasionally would get thanked by the operations people for fixing a problem the night before, of which I had no recollection whatever. Actually doing your job in your sleep is a little bit scary.
- hellweaver666 16y agoI think you become an expert when you go from "unconscious competence" to "passionate competence" i.e. you care so much about it that you live it, dream it and think of it every second. Examples are: * Rand Fishkin and his love of SEO * Jonny Ive and his passion for design * Tony Hsieh and his love of fostering an awesome place to work. All of these people live and love their chosen area of expertise.
