I just got back from a root canal. WooHooo!!! Such exciting news. No, not really. And no one should become an expert patient when it comes to having root canals done. 

Still, practicing anything that isn\u2019t something you look forward to makes it easier and builds expertise. 

I\u2019m an expert dish-doer. I can just get \u2018em done. I don\u2019t look forward to it and I also don\u2019t run away from it. I\u2019m an expert cat-box cleaner. I don\u2019t look forward to it. It needs doing, and when it\u2019s done, everyone is happier. Besides dishes and cat boxes, I\u2019m an expert blogger. I\u2019ve been blogging for years; every Wednesday, I produce a blog called Wednesdays With Wayne

(check out www.WaynePernell.com/blog).

Do I look forward to writing? Sometimes yes. Sometimes it\u2019s just inconvenient. And yet, I get it done.

What about you? 

What have you put off that you might become more of an expert at and can get done so much faster and easier now? Your bills? Your taxes? Your sales calls? Your content creation? 

Or maybe it\u2019s that tough conversation at work or at home you\u2019ve been putting off.

Maybe it\u2019s searching for that new job or partner or car or credit line or science article.

Maybe you need to get better at shutting down social media. 

It all takes practice. And when you commit to it, you need to follow through.

Only in following through can you become trustworthy. Trustworthy with yourself and with those you made the promise to. You first. You\u2019ve got to become trustworthy with yourself and not start bargaining about what you said you\u2019d do and the follow through you told yourself you\u2019d have and then when something comes up, you get side-tracked.

That stuff happens to everyone, even the most driven and most successful. The difference is the time spent in the sidetrack. Moments vs. minutes to hours. 

Practice.

Commit.

Prove yourself trustworthy.

That\u2019s how you\u2019ll do the hard stuff till it gets easy!
