Anders Ericcson developed this formula of purposeful practice in a study that was published in 1976.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the Pareto Principle or the 80\/20 Rule as it has come to be known, breaks down the percentages that separate the masses from the average, the gifted to the exceptional. If we want to be exceptional or elite in any given group, we should expect to be different. Act differently, on purpose.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read something meaningful such as a good book for 18 minutes a day (Facebook or Instagram doesn&#8217;t count) and you will be in the top 5% percentile of all readers. Practice a skill for just 4 or 5 hours a day and you will rise to the top 1% of your field.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you willing to be exceptional? To be in the top 1% of whatever path you choose?<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you all for your awesome feedback and comments, I appreciate it more than you know. <\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>P.S. Shout out to Andy Feldman who is both a friend and colleague.
