109. Don't Quit
Sammie and Michelle look at why if you are pursuing something and growing, they recommend that you don't quit early. Whenever you are pursuing something new, you may not see results right away, but that isn't a sign that you should quit. To become an expert of master, it's important to keep at something. That being said, deliberate practice is also important. However, everything you pursue doesn't have to be of epic proportion. It's also helpful to rank something you pursue as easy, moderate, or epic level so you know how much time, energy and money you want to invest to improve. Show NotesThe Making of an Expert by K.
