There is a distinction between competence and mastery. I think achieving world-class performance may require thousands of hours whilst reaching functional competence does not. Approximately 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice is often enough to move from zero to capable. The barrier for most people is not ability, it is the perception that the investment required is too high. Therefore, by reducing the threshold to the first 20 hours makes skill acquisition accessible and actionable. What do you think?
