The document discusses the "10,000 hour rule" which suggests it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert in a field. It notes this applies to many professions from doctors to salespeople to network marketers. It advises network marketers that becoming highly skilled will take years of part-time work, and that while income can be earned early on, it takes extensive experience over time to achieve high levels of success. Network marketers are encouraged to commit to lifelong learning and personal development to improve their skills and grow their business over the long run.

The 10,000 Hour Rule: How it Applies to Your Network
Marketing Business
There is a rule I learned about in the book “Outliers.” It
basically states that it takes 10,000 hours to become
an expert at anything. This applies to doctors,
accountants, athletes, sales people, network marketers
and every other profession.

Think about plumbers and electricians, as an
example. They have to go through a rigorous
apprentice program before they earn the "title" and
can get "licensed."

Lawyers go to college 7 YEARS before they graduate
and apply for their license to practice law. Doctors go
to school even longer than that.

Even when lawyers, doctors, electricians and plumbers
have completed their training, they still have a ton to
learn through real world experience. A great lawyer
has gone to school 7 years AND practiced law for 10,
20 even 30 or more years. Think about that for a
moment.

If you are working your business 20-hours per week, it’s
going to take you minimum 10 years to become a
world-class network marketer. I’ve been doing this
about 16 years now and it took me about 12-years of
part-time work to hit the 10,000 hour mark.

The beauty of network marketing is that you can earn
while you learn. You don't have to wait 10,000 hours to
start making money, but you can't expect to make the
big MONEY until you have put in the time.
