If we examine the natural gifts of the highest achievers in society today, the most important factors that accelerate progress are often overlooked. Because of this, many people think that they must only rely on their innate abilities to achieve success. But according to leading learning coach Gregg Goodhart, this is NOT correct.
If you believe the myth that you need to be born with a certain amount of talent to succeed, you’ll inevitably get disappointed, frustrated, and potentially suffer from mental health problems later in life.

Rather, his research and years of helping countless students master their practice show that it’s more about how you learn rather than practicing over and over… and over, which leads to burnout and exhaustion.

This caused him to shift his attention to enroll in music school and get a master’s degree in classical music performance, and eventually run a music program at a high school where he tried numerous ways to help students learn faster, better, and with more precision than anyone else they knew. He didn’t stop until he figured out what was missing between those who perfect their performances, and those who keep trying but never “make it.”
