Remember this – you can learn as much as you want, read every book, attend every training class on a particular subject, and talk about it until you are blue in the face. Until you start to put it into action and change your bad habits – it’s all for naught. This is true of exactly what you are doing right now.

Athletes exercise their skills every day and have done from a young age. They put in their time playing in little league, high school, and college before every going pro.
There’s a good chance they wandered the lower leagues waiting for their big call-up, too. Meanwhile, musicians gig in small bars and little shows, perform as warm-up acts for the real deal and ply their trade for years before they get a chance at a record deal.
Even those who seem to appear from nowhere didn’t really appear from nowhere. Think of them as an iceberg – you see this little bit when there is so much hiding beneath. Even Steve Jobs didn’t hit a home run in his first at-bat.
