Every expert or professional, whether in sports or any industry, got to where they are through the time and energy they put into training. Those who succeed take what they learn and apply it as often as possible. Many people pay attention and learn, but only a few actually put that knowledge into action. I’m one of those. It takes time, but if I out-train everyone, then when “game day” arrives, when it’s time to work out a deal, that’s when the training pays off.
In my case, I train communication skills, objection handling, money management, focus, and physical endurance. I might be missing some things, but the bottom line is there are many skills to master, and you have to act on them immediately after learning.
