Quick Cut: S2E275 The Path to Mastery
Click here to listen to the full episodeMany of us are so focused on achieving that we live in fast-forward; that is, we focus on “once I get there…” instead of what’s in front of us right now. Add distractions into the mix and it becomes that much more difficult to embark on the journey to mastery. But, don’t give up; instead, hit the “pause” button. In this episode Brian Buffini delves into the concept of mastery. Using George Leonard’s best-selling book, Mastery as a guide, Brian outlines what mastery is, what it isn’t and how to avoid the pitfalls along the way. You’ll learn what mastery means, why true mastery is contrary to our culture of quick fixes, how slowing down is essential to learning and growing, and why plateaus are essential to progress.NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:“Mastery is a journey, and the master must have the courage to risk failure.” — George Leonard“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.” — Michelangelo“At the heart of it, mastery is staying on the path.” — George Leonard“What’s the difference between the master and the beginner?
