The 10 Year Rule

The Thing you want might take 10 Years. Don’t Overthink. Start Now.

1. The 10 Year Rule

All the (Meaningful) things I’ve ever gotten have taken approx 7- 10 years to see results from it. ⌛

đŸŽ„ Youtube – Started in 2010, Picked up in 2018.

✏ Drawing – Started 1999, Took off in 2010.

đŸ‹ïž Fitness – Started working out in 2013, Finally seeing some results in 2022.

đŸ–„ïž Video Editing – Started in 2007,  Got good in 2017.


When I say “got good”, I mean not “sorta good”.

I mean “Damn, this guy is GOOD”. The one that turns heads. The one that makes you stand out. ⭐


So the Rule is:

“The Meaningful Life goal you want to achieve might take 10 years. So start your deliberate work NOW” 


Why? đŸ€”

2. The Debt you need to pay

When you are starting something, you don’t know jack đŸ’©

You need to WORK to know what you don’t know. đŸ’Ș

One can’t “think” their way outta this.

This is what Alex Hormozi calls ‘Ignorance Debt’.


‘You don’t know what you don’t know’


 You have to pay down the Ignorance Debt as soon as you can, so GOOD WORK can come out of you. 

That means Starting the TIME CLOCK of paying down the Ignorance debt now. ⏳

Some might do it faster, some might do it slower, but the ‘World Class Masters’ always have ATLEAST 10 Years under their belts.

That’s why most skilled people are old. 

And those young prodigies? Got their 10 years in before they turned 13. đŸ€Ż

3. Favourite Quote of the Week

“The Best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The second best time is now”

– a Popular Saying

That’s it for this week folks.
See you in the next one 🙂

Best,
Kesh.
