Master Any Field with Deliberate Practice [Habits] Marketing VP Steve Rubel says that daily practice and research in any field over the span of several years can turn anyone into an expert, as long as you put in the effort. Anyone with just even a little bit of natural talent in a given domain can master it in about 10 years by methodically practicing the essence of their craft two hours daily (including weekends) and measuring their progress from one day to the next. This seems like an obvious piece of advice, but it's not what anyone wants to hear when they ask "how can I get where you are?" There's no magic potion—it's just learning over time, consistently.

Fear is over-rated. We do it to ourselves. Fear has no reality other than our attention to it. Redirect your attention and the fear dissipates.
Where did it come from, and where did it go? Most importantly, why do we do that to ourselves?
In centuries past (and millennia past), fear was an important tool for survival. Faced with a hungry wild animal, our fear kicked in, and our imagination provided us with graphic images of what was about to happen. Lunch! This powerful motivator triggered a surge of adrenaline, which triggered our fight-or-flight reflex. Hopefully, the result of this chain of events would be our survival to feel fear another day.
