Default Can you become an expert with 10,000 hours of practice?

We've talked about this topic before... It's from Malcolm Gladwell's book, "Outliers"...

See Ankesh Kothari's review of the book here...

Anyhow, I stumbled across this interesting article. One guy, who has never played golf before in his life, is trying to become a golf professional - by deliberately putting in 10,000 hours of practice.

He estimates it will take him 6 years...

He's keeping a log book, with statistics, and everything...

It's a fascinating story. It will be even more fascinating to see if he succeeds!

You can see the article here...

Anyhow, an important point, I think, is that practice does help with anything... Including entrepreneurship!

The more you do it, the better you get!

Best wishes,
