I am almost 49. Started playing guitar when I was 46, finished my grade 8 (final) exam three months ago after starting from scratch. Everything mentioned here + Huberman's accelerated learning techniques + the consistency to learn one new thing a day is the key
The pressure of having to earn money tries to get in the way of us becoming who and what we are. There is this feeling that there isn't enough time in our current way of living to follow dreams. It's a kind of unnatural condition we've trapped ourselves in. You're never going to "have" the time to chase a dream. You have to STEAL the time. You have to ignore the people telling you, "You can't do that..." I've often said, "I wish there were four more hours in each day and one more day in each week." That's when I tell myself to shut up and focus on what I want.
I'm closer to fifty than not and I've wanted to learn archery since I was a little kid. I started around four months ago and with a relatively weak bow, which was some good advice I got before I bought. Still, my shoulder was screaming for days after the first session. I thought to myself, smaller/weaker folks than me shoot much heavier bows, so it must be something I'm doing. I took a week off to let the shoulder heal and asked experienced Archers tons of questions in the interim. I got the advice I needed and put it to the test once the shoulder was ok. Interest level as mentioned is key here. I've tried other things that hurt just as bad and quit immediately. I'm no Robin Hood, but sticking with it has paid off.
I'm curious what kind of advice the more experienced people gave you. Was it technique related? Or did they give you more reasonable expectations for how building skill and muscle will take?
@@dalebrimhall1071 Mostly technique, but I did get some more practical advice too. I mentioned poor accuracy at 60 ft. The reply was "master 30 ft first and then push out your range 5-10 ft at a time."
What if you're usually a very tidy organised person but after I FINALLY get a home of my own....I've procrastinated emptying all the boxes, clearing away the junk I've collected over the yrs as I'd like a more minimalist lifestyle....to the point it's getting worse... the spare room is become a dumping ground & I can no longer find important paperwork etc! I've NEVER lived like this before....I don't even understand my own behaviour 🤔😔
I get it. When I bought my first house it took me forever to get unpacked and organized. There’s just so much emotional and physical stuff that not only goes into moving, but buying a house. I had to make a plan and chip away a little at a time. Too much to do!!
Basically, not committing to a set goal. Then he gave possible reasons why people fail to do so, i.e., procrastination as a means of avoiding feelings of discomfort.
Another of those American Self proclaimed gurus and experts who are not really experts in anything except in selling themselves, and in selling the idea that they have an idea, which they really don't. Excellent self-marketing. Very little expertise or actual knowledge. He doesn't really need to be an academically-qualified researcher, I find it totally ok to share subjective ideas or experiences, but he shouldn't pretend to be something that he is not.
He isn't talking science he is sharing his observations just like you did. Are you an expert about experts? What are your qualifications? Do you have a degree in expert Ness? Or your opinion?
@@newfreethink I'm a professor of learning processes in my country. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I do have to read many people that actually are. This guy isn't.
I hate to be a critic, but I did a deep dive on this author... and as expected, he's never actually mastered any known skill himself. His only claim to fame is that he's sold books about mastering skills. Until there's impressive and compelling evidence that he has applied these in his own life, I don’t see why I should be interested in a word of his advice. And just to prreempt this, two things: first, Im not interested in hearing your counterpoint that he's "successful." He's successful only at _convincing_ you that he knows how to improve your talents. If he hasn't applied any of these himself to great effect, then his "success" is a grift, and griftimg is all you'll learn by following his model. And secondly, I'm not interested in any counterpoint about "he's only presenting his research." Research is only valuable insofar as it can be applied. And again, it stands to reason that if he had such "effective secrets" at his disposal, he'd have applied them in his own life to some measurable effect outside of his book sales.
Totally agree! It's one of those self proclaimed Gurus with no real skill. For me the biggest red flag is if they do not have or allow a wikipedia page. They have something to hide.
Thank you for saving me the time in watching this video. I have noticed critiques of more than one of the guests on this show. I feel like its getting to thr point where i will unsubscribe because its not worth my time researching each guest to see if they are providing actual value.
I had a project vision that I wanted to bring to life 2 years ago and now it’s real because of everything yall said in this video. And damn am I proud. I could’ve been the guy you mentioned. But I’m not - I’m really doing it. 🥹🙏🔥❤️🔥 🦁
Well done! 🎉 😊 I hope to follow the advice too, and hopefully follow in your footsteps... If I don't try, I'll definitely fail, right? But if I do try, I might just succeed, and I definitely won't have the regrets of not even having a go. Something like that!

Sticking with it everything

Chained to a mortgage and other commitments that depend on a well-paid corporate 9-5 meaning that the idea of pursuing "the dream" unfeasible
What’s the one reason?

His net worth is like 72 million and he is 42 years old. So you’re pretty bad at digging.
@@brandonfisher8320 So... how did he make that money?
@AK-47-yall but writing a long-winded critique is worth you time? Give me a break. You are just being negative. Get out and live instead
🔥🔥🔥🔥
He is fake he did not learn any skill. He just wrote a book with some crappy theorey.
Hey, he did write a book. Have you ever done that? Even a bad book?
I think you just proved the insecurity, jealousy and discomfort that they’re talking about.
