Let’s start with an epic 41 second movie clip featuring Liam Neeson from the great action film, “Taken.”
Pretty badass, huh?
Now let’s see how this relates to YOU…
How To Create Your Own “Very Particular Set of Skills”
(Or Borrow Them From
Someone Else) To Create The Income & Life You Desire
Let me jump in with a very powerful (and true) statement that I hope will jolt you to the core.
The set of skills that you have or develop in life can be directly responsible for getting you from where you are right now to where you want to be.
Read that twice and chew on it. Super, super key.
But you know what’s weird? There is hardly ANY info out there on the fascinating topic of skills.
Crazy, right?
Probably because most people (wrongly) assume that skills are just random. You’re either good at something or you’re not, right?
Wrong.
And if you want to get good at something, practice makes perfect, right?
Well yeah, that can work, sometimes. But there’s a much easier way…
How To Become A “Black Belt
Skill Master” And Get Good At
Whatever You Want Or Need To,
Faster Than Ever!
Any skill is within your reach. That’s right. Any skill at all. And anyone who tells you otherwise is either not being straight with you, or is guilty of very limited thinking.
Here are the 3 ways you can acquire any skill you want or need to have:
You’re already good at it. We all have natural talents. Things that come easily and effortlessly to us. Things we do better than most other people. Well, guess what? Yours are your existing skills that you already have! Off to a good start, but let’s dig deeper…
Acquire the skill by becoming a master (but there’s a harmful myth about mastery, which I’ll share with you in a few seconds). Studies have shown that 10,000 hours is the amount of time/effort generally required to become a “master” at any skill. That breaks down to about 5 years full time or 10 years part time. But life is short and precious. So I’d only suggest devoting 10,000 hours to something if you’re really passionate about it! Otherwise, if it’s really the results you’re after, there’s a much easier way…
Borrow the skill from someone else. Think about it. Some skills light your fire and you’d really like to have them for yourself, and that’s great. But lots of other skills drain us, and if we’re being honest, all we really want are simply the results that come from that skill. This result could be money, knowledge, convenience, joy, wonder, or any number of things. Well, here’s the good news. For any skill in life you desire, there are other people who have:
a) Devoted their lives or careers to becoming masters of that exact skill.
b) Have put that mastery and knowledge into material and systems you can plug into; and
c) Have a vested interest in you tapping into their skill set and getting positive results from it!
Remember a few seconds ago, I said I’d share with you the harmful myth about mastery?
A lot of “masters” are going to be mad at me for sharing this with you, but they’re not my concern – you are.
And you deserve to know the truth. So here it is:
That 10,000 hour rule I just shared with you?
Yes, it’s real…if you want to be an Olympic athlete…or a world-class pianist or chess player. You catch my drift.
But what does it really take to gain life-changing skills?
Just knowing a little bit more than the average person – and then putting the skill into action!
That’s it.
And you can do that with a tiny fraction of the time and effort that the “masters” would have you believe.
True mastery is not a far-off destination. And it certainly doesn’t require 10,000 hours.
It’s a way of living.
A rewarding and invigorating way of living that will result in acquiring life-changing skills and putting them into action.
And most importantly?
It’s a way of living that you can start right away.
Let’s look at a couple of real-life examples…
How To Tap Into Universal,
Life-Changing Skills That Will
Literally Make The World
Your Playground
Mastery Skill
Example #1: Travel
One of my greatest passions in life is travel. It fulfills me on so many levels.
When I travel, I feel more enriched, more enlightened, more educated, more cultured, more grateful, more present, but most of all…more ALIVE.
Bottom line, I simply couldn’t imagine my life without the extraordinary blessing of being able to travel the world as I please.
One of the main reasons why I’m able to do this?
Because I get most of my flights and accommodations at extreme discounts, or even FREE.
My last five trips to Europe? Didn’t pay a dime in airfare, other than taxes.
So how did I acquire this skill?
Well, here’s the challenge I was facing…
I knew that I love to travel but I don’t have endless supplies of money to be constantly buying flights and booking nice hotels.
So I needed to laser right in on the information I needed to make that happen. And I only was willing to spend a short, focused amount of time on this. A small handful of hours – certainly not 10,000!
So I figured out exactly what I wanted to know, dedicated a few focused hours, and lasered in like a surgeon on the precise info I needed.
Am I a “master” of travel? Call me what you will – but the reality is that I now know how to use points, miles, and all kinds of tricky loopholes to travel the world at will at extreme discounts and often even for FREE.
So the point is, I got to the desired result by quickly acquiring the skill.
Oh, and by the way?
If travel happens to be your thing too, I’m more than happy to share all that I’ve learned – right down to the last detail.
I’ll show you how to travel when and where you want for pennies on the dollar, whether it’s to take your dream vacation, to be there for your family, or – like me – as a way of life.
But for now, let’s look at a second Mastery Skill example…
Mastery Skill Example #2:
Language Learning
I’m going to make two very bold statements about learning a new language and why you should do it:
Learning a new language is the most underrated skill in the world.
Learning a new language provides more “bang for the buck” than any other skill.
Suddenly hola, bonjour and capisce just got a lot more interesting.
I mean, think about it. People routinely spend several years of their life, and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn a particular skill that they can use to either make more money or get more value out of life.
While learning a new language, you can do with little or no money, and a few solid months (or even weeks to learn the basics) of dedication.
And voila – more doors will open for you than you could ever imagine.
I’ve experienced this first hand by learning the great language of Spanish.
Here are just a few of the many ways that my life has been enhanced by learning Spanish:
I’ve generated hundreds of thousands of additional dollars of income by applying Spanish to two of the three Lifestyle Income generation methods referred to in Part 1 of the 5M Formula (I’ll show you exactly how).
I’ve formed several lifelong friendships with some incredible people who I never would have been able to communicate with had I not learned their language.
I’ve earned the respect and appreciation of locals, simply for attempting to speak their language and showing an interest in their culture. You’ll be amazed how much this alone disarms people, gets their guard down, and earns instant gratitude and affinity.
I’ve enjoyed the confidence and independence of being able to order food, ask directions, go shopping, or pretty much do anything I want to do in another language and country. There are no words to describe how cool this is and how many possibilities it will open up for you.
Now, am I a “master” in Spanish? That’s open for debate. I mean, I speak it pretty well for a “gringo,” but no one would mistake me for a local.
But the key point, once again?
I dove in, learned what I needed to learn in a short amount of time to acquire the “skill” of Spanish at a level that would allow me to achieve life-changing results.
And that, my friend, is the name of the game, with any skill that’s important to you!
Oh, and if language learning happens to be a skill that you want to apply to your life as well?
Whether it’s Spanish or any other language (well, almost any), once again, I’ll be more than happy to share what I know and point you in the direction of the best resources I’ve found.
I could go on and on with skill acquisition and mastery, but once again I’m jumping ahead of myself.
The key takeaways ?
Mastery is not some distant future goal you work towards. And it certainly doesn’t require anywhere near 10,000 hours for real-world application.
Rather, it’s a way of living that you can start right away.
A way of living that’ll make you feel super alive and invigorated, as you decide what skills you need to get from Point A to Point B – and then dive in, acquire them at a working level, and put them into action!
Now, let’s move on to Part 3 of the 5M Formula, shall we?
I’ve put it smack dab in the middle because it’s the lynchpin. The glue that holds the Formula together and makes it go.
It’s like taking the red pill in The Matrix. Once you jump in, you’ll never go back…
