The Dan Plan
Yesterday we touched on The 10,000 Hour Rule, the premise behind Malcolm Gladwell's popular book, Outliers: The Story of Success. My photo for that essay was the Westlake (Austin) High School Girls Golf Team, who just took first and third in regional play last week in Waco. They are the defending Texas 5A Champions. Those girls understand what it takes to be successful. They understand each of the keys that we have discussed thus far, when it comes to The Champion Sales Professional: energy management, enthusiasm, and likability. Golf is a great teacher of these skills and we are proud of what the girls have accomplished.
Dan McLaughlin in Portland, OR is putting The 10,000 Hour Rule to the test in his own way. Check out The Dan Plan to see how he intends to conquer golf, starting from a basis of zero and becoming a professional player. As of April 15th he was cruising past 1,400 hours and going strong.
What have you invested 10,000 hours in during your lifetime? That is approximately 5.5 hours a day, six days a week for six years. Have you perfected that skill?
