20 hours π
Josh Kaufman is the author of the #1 international bestseller, 'The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business', as well as the upcoming book 'The First 20 Hours: Mastering the Toughest Part of Learning Anything.' Josh specializes in teaching people from all walks of life how to master practical knowledge and skills. In his talk, he shares how having his first child inspired him to approach learning in a whole new way.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

@Nickholden10004 steps, we should do before start to learn anything
1. Deconstruct the skill
2. learn enough to self correct
3. Remove practice barriers
4. Practice at least 20 hours

@Yash_raj_saxenareally motivating
@ibizwithMsAllisonThe shortcut isnβt the 20 hours of learning. The shortcut is finding an expert with 50,000 hours of experience who tells you exactly what to practice during those 20 hours.
