On our last show Tony Lukashevich touched on a very important topic. If you’ve watched the video you will notice that when he talks about just making the call and if you don’t do very well, don’t worry. Just keep calling and you’ll get better. At that point I was taking notes. And here’s what I wrote down: “The More you do it, the better you get.” I’ve spent some time reflecting on that in my quiet time over the past couple of days and I have an essay on that topic coming up. Or should that be a monologue? Or blog post? Let’s call it all of the above. I’m going to talk to you about how to acquire any skill and develop it to near perfection. And we are going to complete the sentence, “Practice Makes….”

But I’m not completing it now, except to tell you that it’s not going to be “Practice Makes Perfect.” Because I don’t believe it. I know it’s a pithy saying with a good moral, but if I were to get more precise about the impact of Practice, I would not say it is perfection. It’s something else, and I’ll break it down for you later.
