This may be the most basic advice you will hear, but it is the most important. Remember the saying, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Mastery of any skill will take time and lots of it. That’s why patience comes hand in hand with mastery.

The way you see things is one of the factors that determines whether you are going to succeed or fail in doing something. It’s neither talent nor intelligence, but your mindset. There are a lot of people who believe that their current abilities are static, and don’t change. Instead of having this kind of mindset, shift it to believing that our skills and abilities are dynamic, and can be improved and developed.

#3 Learn and experiment

The best way to start mastering a certain skill is to open your mind to learning new things. Experiment and find what works better. This way, you will not only be gaining more experience, you are also constantly learning and finding out what works for you. This will lead you to more doors of opportunity to open and grab and lead you to the path of mastery.
