Throughout history, many famous innovators\u2014whether they engineered scientific breakthroughs or composed revolutionary musical pieces\u2014went through the same process of learning how to master something to which they chose to dedicate their life&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: To progress toward mastery and achievement, other experts argue that you must <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/mindset\/chapter-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">develop a growth mindset.<\/a> In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/mindset\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Mindset<\/em><\/a>, Carol S. Dweck says there are two types of mindsets\u2014fixed and growth. If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fixed-mindset-examples\/\">fixed mindset<\/a>, you believe your abilities are determined at birth and you can\u2019t improve them. Conversely, if you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/growth-mindset-characteristics\/\">growth mindset<\/a>, you believe you\u2019re able to improve with hard work and effort, which can help you succeed on your journey to mastery. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-develop-a-growth-mindset\/\">develop a growth mindset<\/a>, Dweck advises that you practice viewing achievements as products of effort and hard work rather than natural talent.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-phase-1-devote-yourself-to-learning\">Phase 1: Devote Yourself to Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Greene explains that <strong>the journey to mastery begins with a fundamental phase of intense and self-directed learning<\/strong>. According to Greene, this learning stage often takes five to 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greene offers four suggestions on how to approach your learning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Make learning your primary goal. <\/strong>Since the learning phase is fundamental to mastery, Greene recommends you prioritize learning above other concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Find a mentor.<\/strong> Since mentors are often busy, Greene suggests you think of how you can offer value to them in return. When you train under a mentor, however, be careful not to limit yourself to their methods or ideas, but rather, adapt them to your own learning style and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Practice by doing. <\/strong>Greene explains that people learn best through hands-on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/learning-strategies-for-students\/\">learning techniques<\/a> and repetition rather than through books or courses. The more you practice a skill, the more effortless and enjoyable it becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Expand your skills.<\/strong> Explore not just the necessary information to reach your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/find-purpose-in-your-life\/\">life purpose<\/a>, but as many related skills and knowledge as you can. This approach allows you to view your work from new angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2: Experiment and Apply Your Personal Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After your learning phase, you have the foundational skills and knowledge necessary to <strong>experiment with techniques and apply your personal style to create valuable and unique work.<\/strong> Greene says you\u2019ll know you\u2019ve reached this stage when the basics of your craft feel intuitive. He offers two suggestions to help you create a masterful work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Develop a flexible mind. <\/strong>When you\u2019ve become comfortable with your skill, it\u2019s easy to grow complacent and get stuck in a traditional way of viewing things. This limits your creative ability, however. To avoid this, seek uncertainty, challenge your instinctive beliefs, and explore all angles of an idea or situation\u2014consider not just what\u2019s there but what\u2019s missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Hone your concentration.<\/strong> According to Greene, focus and patience allow you to produce quality work. If you rush the process, you detract from the potential of your work. Greene suggests you instead seek pleasure in the creation process itself\u2014not in the completion of the project. When you feel frustrated or distracted, try meditating or taking a break to gain the necessary distance to refocus yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do people rise to the top of their field?
