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...
Can a complete novice become a golf pro with 10,000 hours of practice?

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,
Dien
