NARROW YOUR FOCUS – The path to destruction is wide, but many people never find the narrow path. Many people don’t find their craft because they are busy chasing a lot of things, they want to accomplish everything thereby not mastering their craft. What are the two things you want to focus on? How much FOCUS do you put on the two things. Get two things you can focus on everyday or every week so that you can deliver excellent results on them.
FIND MASTERS AND EXPERTS IN YOUR CRAFT – Search for Masters that can help you master your craft. Who are the masters in your industry?

Many do the things they love but they practice in fear as if they are going to fail. Put in your best practice and work, your results will be excellent.
MEASURE YOUR RESULTS – If you don’t measure what you have done, you can’t manage it and if you can’t manage it, you can’t master it. Measurement helps you know exactly where you are, it’s a gauge by which you monitor your progress. Try regularly to measure the progress in mastering your craft.
