Fresh on the heels of The Strawberry Festival in Cabot Arkansas, I attended Galaxy Con in Oklahoma City. It started out rough. Like, rough as in, I thought about quitting the whole writing marketing thing and getting a W2 rough.

Why was it so bad, and how did it go from rough to revolutionary. David Joel Stevenson taught me something, and I had the softness to hear and learn. Kudos to me, and kudos to you if you can take this talk and apply it in your life. Learning from others and failing publicly are two enormous challenges you can’t succeed without experiencing.

If you’ve ever uttered the words, “I’ve been doing this for twenty years,” that should be an immediate red flag for you. No matter who you are or what you’ve been doing, experience is not a replacement for expertise. I’ve seen runners run for years and never challenge themselves, and those runners frequently get smoked by brand new runners who commit to a constant improvement protocol.

The same is true in every discipline, so never confuse repetition with mastery. Don’t do it.
