Does attending more course help or harm you? Here’s my journey and conclusion!

When I did not get my breakthrough, I was devouring information and unsuccessful and suffering information overload…

every course I see makes me feel I don’t know enough, i’m not good enough…

So I ended up learning more than doing…

When my back was against the wall, I had to come to only one principle…

The more people i talk to, the higher chance I will get a sale…

So I stop all courses and only reach out to people non-stop…

while trusting that I will surely learn what’s working and what’s not along the way…

then BANG! First month, hit 6 figures commission…

Just like many of you, I used to suffer from “Imposter Syndrome”.

Meaning, we feel like we are not qualified, that we are not good enough

Well, every time we want to grow, we have to do something we have no experience in, then our “not good enough” feeling will strike again.

We start to feel we’re not enough, and we start to have no confidence.

Internally, you say “Who am I to say I am an entrepreneur…see I don’t have any results to show for…”

“When I tell people that I am an entrepreneur, i feel like i am a hypocrite”

Do you feel these feelings and have these thoughts?

You know what?

Me too! and so do everyone before they became successful…

But do you know what really determines who you become?

It’s not what you think….

it’s what you DO….

If you’re out there doing marketing, then you’re saying to yourself that you’re an entrepreneur.

If you’re painting, then you’re saying to yourself that you’re an artist…

Then your “imposter syndrome” kick in…”How dare you say I am an artist…”

You might say. “I’m not like Picasso whose Les Femmes d’Alger (“Version O”) painting which sold for $179.4 million in 2015.”

“I’m not like Winston or this famous person or that famous person”

Do you know how much painting Picasso painted before he became highly paid?

He painted more than 50K but only 150 became famous and was worth something.

Here’s a true story of Picasso…

One day, whilst enjoying his evening meal at a restaurant, Pablo Picasso – the world’s most influential artist at the time – got interrupted by a fan who handed over a napkin to him and said, “could you sketch something for me?

I’ll pay you for it. Name your price.”

In response, Picasso pulled out a charcoal pencil from his pocket and swiftly sketched an image of a goat.

The man reached out to collect the napkin, but Picasso withheld it. “You owe me $100,000,” he said.

The man was outraged. “$100,000? Why? That took you no more than 30 seconds to draw!”

Picasso then crumpled up the napkin and stuffed it into his jacket pocket. “You are wrong,” he said.

“It took me 40 years.”

You might say to me, “Winston, I do not have 40 years”

Well, you do not need to be like Picaso…even if you’re 10% of him, would it be worth it?

In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called Outliers which documented that in order to reach an expert level (Not the TOP), you just have to clock in 10,000 hours of experience.

What Malcolm did not say was the quality of the 10,000 hours.

10,000 hours of a person leisurely playing basketball might make that person just average.

This is called “Casual Practice”

10,000 hours of a person who is very specific on what he wants to improve, keeps tracks and measures it, will probably make that person above average

This is called “Deliberate Practice”

10,000 hours of a person who has an experience coached that is able to point our their mistakes and help them improve in the areas they cannot see will make that person an expert.

This is called “Dedicated Practice”

That’s why all those who represented their school or their country in sports, every single one of them from basketball, swimming to every other sports, everyone has a COACH.

No one gets to the top without a coach, not Michael Jordan, not Michael Phelps, not tiger woods, not Rinaldo…

While having a coaching does not guarantee you to be the top like Michael Jordan.

isn’t getting to be selected to play for NBA good enough?

You do not need to be like Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Ma (Who makes billions), even 0.1% of them, 100K a month, isn’t that good enough?

You don’t need to be Michael Jordan, if you can even get to represent the state or city, that’s good enough money.

If you want to be coached to hit even 10K-100K a month, think of all 10,000 hours of focus commitment with a coach that you can be accounted for.

(The most powerful part of a dedicated coach is not in the content (video or written) but in the feedback given)

And everyday show the coach what you have done, so you will have immediate feedback to know where to improve that you yourself cannot see.

(There are many things we cannot see without a coach, and that’s why doing it on your own takes a long long time)

There is no such thing as no time.

If we are truly honest with ourselves, if it’s not important enough for us, we will come up with all kinds of excuses.

There’s only “as long as if it’s important enough for you, you will prioritise it, you will do it!”

It’s not what you think that determines who you say about yourself, it’s what you DO!

I’m out there DOING marketing, I am saying I am an entrepreneur.

When I’m out there DOING coaching, I am saying I am a coach

When I’m out there DOING writing, I am saying I’m a writer.

Using confidence to feel if you can do something is useless because feelings are subjective and it cannot be measured.

A better way is to measure what you able to practice.

Anything you do that can be measured, you can improve and that would be the best way to measure confidence.

It’s how I have created more than 100 million in sales with self growing ECommerce.

This is not for everyone but If you feel that you need dedicated coaching so you will 100% see progress in leaps and bounce, book a coaching session on winstonye.com
