I’ve been thinking about competency and the path to getting really good at something.

There’s a pattern: We start most things thinking they’ll be easy to master, until we get started and realize it’s harder than we thought. We might even be tempted to give up!

In this week's video, I’m going to take you through the four stages we all go through as we master new things. This is helpful for business owners who, for example, are learning to delegate, are struggling with it a little bit, and perhaps find themselves taking tasks back and doing them themselves!

In this episode, Tom shares the story of that one time when his training really paid off.

Tom Frick is a CFI who ensures his flight training students are fully competent in the execution of emergency procedures. His own experience, which he talks about in this episode, demonstrates the imperative need for training.

Tom is one of the cohosts of the Stuck Mic Avcast. You can find them and subscribe here: http://stuckmicavcast.com.

Why do we require proficiency for the degrees? Could there be a purpose beyond the simple test of perseverance it takes to get it done? Ben wraps the episode with chapter XXI, Three Books of Occult Philosophy: "Of the virtues of things which are in them only in their lifetime, and such as remain in them even after their death."
