I Threw Out Everything I Knew About Practice To Train Like Naturals…
And I 6X’d My Progress.

Now, the story isn't as simple as you might imagine—there's a lot to unpack, and if you rather watch than read another 20 pages, I'll let you hear it directly from me.

I recently told my full story on James Wedmore's "Mind Your Business" podcast.

According to James this was his best episode from 600+, just start from the 12 minute mark to hear my story."

Now, it's important to mention that I did not come up with these rules, I did not invent them. So where did I got them from?

The simple answer is...
I've discovered them.

I've discovered them from modeling, imitating, and synthesizing the behavior of pros I call “Naturals”.

The people with "talent"... People we often like to put on a pedestal, and tell ourselves the story that they were destined to be great, and that they have some mysterious power.

But in reality, that’s usually not the case at all.

The best of the best think alike. The unwritten rules they practice by are what allow them to progress to incredible heights. But here's the thing about those rules—they're often very counterintuitive.

Meaning: what makes sense in the moment isn't what leads to success. The things you wouldn't think to try—the ones that go unnoticed—are usually the things that work. But almost nobody does them.

If you look at 80% of what so called talents, the "Naturals" do, you'll say: "Yeah, I get that—it's intuitive."

You can make sense of that because it’s the logical and obvious thing to do, but it’s the other 20% that’s counterintuitive.

Those counterintuitive things are always present in the background, and often, one little shift, just one simple change, is all it takes.

I saw firsthand after observing and practicing with some of the best performers in the world, that it wasn't the strength, "talent" or physical powers that separated the good from the best.

It was their mostly unconscious approach and mentality that looked dramatically different from the rest.

Once I started to shift my own practice into this direction the way “Naturals” do, I started to understand how the little subtle differences they made in practice had enormous impacts on their progress.

The little things they were doing that the majority never did, or did in an opposite way because they didn’t seem important or went even unnoticed…

Yet those very things were the things that made it work.

And it’s the reason why no matter what skill you practice or what field you are trying to advance in, truth is that the underlying laws of why humans progress are universally applicable.

They will keep being universally applicable since the reason why we humans progress are EVERLASTING and NEVER CHANGING.

And if you understand the theory and you understand the cause and effect of why “Naturals” do things in a certain way, you can create a million variations of how you want to use these rules in your favor, since these principles are by their very nature, universal…

Thanks to these principles, I’ve learned that the best way to shortcut your progress enormously, to get results faster, easier, with less trial and error, fewer mistakes, and less stress, is to borrow the methods of “Naturals” and apply them to what you’re doing.

Since that’s exactly what I did…

There are countless practitioners out there right now, doing everything they were told to do.

Drilling for hours, grinding reps, following the same advice everyone gives…

Yet most of them barely improve from one year to the next.

And it’s not because they’re not working hard enough…

It’s not because they lack talent or the right teacher…

Most people spend 95% of their energy and attention working solely on their outer game, their outer execution.

They think about the movements: how high, how low, how fast. And those things matter. But they're all just the effect of whatever practice strategy you're using underneath.

However, they hardly ever focus or try to improve their system or strategy itself of their practice.

They just have a system in place that they don’t even think about and since that’s the most thought they can give to it, they only focus on that 95%.

But what would actually create a real difference—for athletes, musicians, performers, or anyone practicing a skill—is the 5% nobody spends energy on. Even though that 5% is what decides everything you do externally in the first place.

Having mentored thousands of practitioners over the years, I've learned this: you're only 3-5 subtle changes away from the progress you want—or from never coming close to it.

But to get different results, you need to be working ON your practice, not just IN it.

It took me a decade to figure out what I did wrong and learn all the things on how to do it right…

And I can tell you the reason some people improve so much faster has a lot less to do with how HARD they practice, and much more to do with HOW they practice…
