Tim Ferris' thoughts on the 10k rule (https://genius.com/Tim-ferriss-what-about-the-10000-hour-rul...), including "how do you define mastery?" and "are there ways to more efficiently master something?"

How much of what you currently know can you relate and apply to becoming an expert in your new career? There might be more than you expect.

As far as being more efficient, learning from someone who has the experience you seek can make a huge difference. I'm a mainly self-taught guitar player, and I spend a lot of time identifying problems with my technique and inventing little practice routines to work on correcting them. I enjoy this process, but I know I'd save a lot of time if I worked more with people who could easily identify issues with my playing and already know best practice routines to correct 'em.
