A Hard Truth About Business
On repetition...
There is no shortcut to repetition.
Often popular culture wants to offer a shortcut to the basics of excellence.
Repetition.
Doing the same thing over and over.
- Michael Phelps
- Lionel Messi
- Beethoven
Anyone who is truly great has repeated and refined their craft thousands, if not tens of thousands of times.
This is a hard truth in business.
I'm reminded of this as I finally got around to submitting an interview request from a Startup Newsletter/ Magazine that first hit my inbox in August.
Insights are useful but repetition cannot be avoided.
And so I return to writing on a blog to hone my craft.
Like the sage advice from Scott Adams when he started his blog.
And how I first cut my teeth when I first started writing 12 years ago.
On Blogger.
Sharing my poetry.
To summon the courage to be better.
But I became better by just writing more.
By not avoiding the hard truth.
That to be a better writer.
I have to write.
Alot.
