Think you meant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29 .. at appx 40 hours per week, that's more like 5 years.. which is same as a PhD, black-belt etc.
- brador 15y agoI'd argue business owners don't work just 40 hours a week on their business. 60 minimum in my experience, even more in those early days. Year 1, Building the business, Year 2, Adapting the business, Year 3, Improving the business. That's my take on it.
- Hitchhiker 15y agoRighto. Fair enough. I just have a general aversion to these sorts of rules, mostly because there are around a ton of exceptions .. to the point where one wonders about it all. You may have more expertise in this, so deferring it to your good judgment. I was delimiting my stuff to the Gladwell book which attacks " mastery ".
- barry-cotter 15y agoFour hours a day is about the maximum amount of dedicated practice possible. Three is more usual.
- Confusion 15y agoIn my experience, though I haven't achieved it myself yet, a black belt is more like training 4 hours a week for about 10 years.
