The Difference Between Experts and Beginners
Summary
- As an expert, like a master video editor, you have numerous ways to win with faster feedback loops that provide instant rewards.
- When you're just starting out, you can't focus solely on outcomes; if you do, you'll never persevere.
- The most impactful approach is to consider who you're becoming and see your personal growth as the primary asset you're building.

How To Take Action
I would suggest focusing on becoming better at what you do every day, even in small ways. Imagine you're learning to edit videos. Each time you make a change and it looks good, that's a win! You get better, and you feel good right away. That's your reward before you even finish the video. That's a fast feedback loop.
If you're just getting started, don't only look at the final result, like how many views your video gets. That's not the only way to see if you're doing well. You won't keep going if you only look at that. It's tough in the beginning. You need something to keep you moving forward.
A good way of doing this is to see how you are growing as a person. Think about the skills you're getting, not just the money or fame. Are you becoming more patient, or creative? Are you getting faster at editing? That's the real gold. That growth is what you're really working for. It's like your own personal treasure that makes you better at what you do and helps you win in the long run.
So, here's the plan:
- Set daily goals to improve your skills, not just the outcome.
- Celebrate the small wins that come from getting better.
- Keep track of how you're growing, not just what you're earning.
- Remember, becoming more skilled is the true prize.
Doing this doesn't cost a lot of money or take a lot of time. But it adds so much value to what you do and gives you reasons to keep going, especially when it's hard.
