Creating Your Decade Project

If you think about it, ten years of discovery – critical experiences, skills, knowledge, relationships, networks (before you need them!) – is a long time. In fact, it’s about 87,000 hours. According to Malcolm Gladwell, it only takes 10,000 hours to become a world expert. So imagine that you sleep for 30,000 hours. That leaves 50,000 hours to invest in learning how to be great in the areas you have intentionally decided to gain critical experiences, knowledge and relationships.
