The 10,000 Hour Rule is misnamed. It's not a rule. It's a rough estimate. Also, when you read the small print, it does not guarantee success.

If your considering a career / life pivot then this book might be for you. https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-art-of-possibility-transforming-professional-and-personal-life_rosamund-stone-zander_benjamin-zander/250469/#edition=2347325&idiq=361886 https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-art-of-possibility-transfo...
