Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Panero.

In this episode, we're going to talk about the idea of shots on net,

or how it's not about perfection, but the science actually supports

that it's repetition that brings mastery. So shots on net.

Today we're going to talk about how it is the quantity of attempts,

the quantity of shots taken to define mastery over a prolonged period of time, not prolonged concentrated effort on one thing, right?

Making this one thing perfect and getting it out to the world.

I'll talk about a few studies that support the fact that, no, it's not about making this one thing perfect.

It's about, I say, courage, right?

The courage and the discipline and the

trust to throw it out knowing it's not the best, but that it's a step on a larger staircase

that you need to step on to get better. It's not about perfection. It's about repetition.

Throwing things against a wall, seeing how it responds, collecting the pieces, and throwing again and again and again. So I had a chance to talk about this a little bit last night. And there are a few examples of this. James Clear talks about it in Atomic Habits.

Basically, he says there are, there's a class with two groups of film students.

And one group was only supposed to have one submission, right?

Take one picture, but make it the best they could.

The other group, essentially over the course

of the semester were supposed to take a bunch and so it was more quantity versus quality

and at the end of the semester the group that took the most pictures was far and away better

than the one that took took that one and made it perfect.

It's just impossible because it lacks the experiences.

It lacks the knowledge of doing something poorly and learning from it.
