The Power of Repetition
When you want to learn something quickly and get proficient at something fast, you simply practise doing that thing over and over again.
For example, if you want to improve your sales presentation skills, do more presentations. Similarly, if you want to become more competent on cold sales, then pick up the phone and do more sales calls.
Through repetition you become more confident and courageous, more knowledgeable and skilful. Nothing even comes close to the power and benefit of repetition.
How do you think you got very good at your job? How did you learn the route from home to the office? How did you get good at making presentations or meeting people, or anything? It’s through the power of repetition.
When you practise anything every day, you’ll get so skilled at it, it becomes automatic. If you drive a car, you don’t consciously change gears, do you? You simply reach out with your left hand and change gears. You don’t think about it. You just go ahead and do it. Automatically.
Remember this when you begin to feel irritated or discouraged at your lack of ability when trying to do something new.
Substitute helplessness with the desire to practise.
