Normal Training Gets You Normal Results

• “Normal training gets you normal results.” – David Goggins
• One thing that ‘experience’ doesn’t account for is what you did during that time.

One person’s 5 years of experience may look very different than another person’s.

• 👉 How many hours did they put in?
  • 👉 How many projects did they run?
  • List item
• 👉 How many teams did they lead?
• 👉 How much budget did they oversee?
• 👉 How many difficult problems did they overcome?

• 👉 How much practice did they have?
  👉 How much research did they do?
  👉 How many experiments did they run?
  👉 How many times did they fail?
  👉 How many times did they succeed?
  👉 How many extra miles did they go?

Some people can sluggishly yawn their way from 9:00 – 5:00 p.m., take extra long lunches, waiting to punch out to be home with their family (There’s nothing wrong with that – to each their own).

That can go on for 5 years.

Another person, however, can treat their career growth like Kobe Bryant treated basketball.

So while experience is great, just looking at the number of years on a resume or profile doesn’t tell you much.
