Would You Spend 10000 Hours for MLM Success?
"There's one figure that everyone takes away from Malcolm Gladwell's
new book, Outliers: 10,000 hours. That, he says, is the difference
between success and non-success, genius and mediocrity. Anyone from the
Beatles to Bill Gates who has succeeded has done so on the back of at
least 10,000 hours of practice. Plus, obviously, some intelligence and
talent. This is an extension of his last book, Blink, in which he
praised the power of intuitive snap judgments - but you need to have
experience to make those judgments.
Like all the books in this peculiarly American genre, it expands a
one- sentence conclusion into a book, and few of us are in a position
to dispute the statistical basis. It will give heart to nature's
plodders, to the tortoises over the hares. The relationship between
success and IQ works, says Mr Gladwell, only up to the point of
reasonable intelligence - any more is a waste.
Outliers, like most pop social science, has some obvious truth. In
fact, the essence of the argument was made in 1859 by Samuel Smiles in
his immortal book, Self-Help. "Strenuous individual application," he
declared, with plentiful examples, "is the price paid for distinction;
excellence of any sort is placed beyond the reach of indolence."
When enter this equation into the home business or MLM business
arena, you begin to understand exactly why the failure rate is so high.
