Is the Invisible Prison Limiting Your Success?

In an interview with Lisa Urbanski, she and I explored how the invisible prison can limit success. If you are already a master at your craft, there is still a next level. That does not mean you are unhappy with your performance. It means you are still capable of learning or inventing new things. Throughout history, many masters have created new possibilities that required new techniques, equipment or other unforeseen changes that were beyond what they previously knew. Tiger Woods is a great example of someone who mastered his craft as a professional golfer. Nevertheless, he changed his swing more than once. Each time he changed his swing he became a beginner all over again, until he mastered the new swing. Once mastered, he rose to the top. On the other hand, if you have not mastered your craft, there is a chance you are being derailed by beliefs that were never true. In the video, Lisa and I discuss how an entire industry was constrained by a simple belief that was never questioned. Once questioned, entirely new possibilities became available. Perhaps mastery of a craft requires one to first master self. Without self mastery, it becomes difficult to see the invisible bars that limit what is possible. While self mastery is not widely celebrated in the US, Navy Seals dedicate 12 weeks to self mastery training. What the military discovered was the self mastery training increased the amount of people who completed the Navy Seal training. Which structures have you put in place to master yourself?
