Lot's of experience is useless!
To improve you have to exit your comfort zone!
In field after field, when it comes to centrally important skills—stockbrokers recommending stocks, parole officers predicting recidivism, college admissions officials judging applicants—people with lots of experience were no better at their jobs than those with less experience.
From Geoff Colvin, Talented is Overrated
What? well in this book the author claims 3 things, 1 The notion that you have to have ‘natural talent’ to excel at something is a myth. 2. Even if you practice many hours at something you improve a bit first but after an initial jump you reach a plateau and experience serves you nothing.3. if you want to get better you have to engage in deliberate practice (in my words Hard Training, not so pleasant ).
To improve at something, and anyone can improve if he/she want, it's Hard Work, you have to exit your comfort zone. You have to experiment, you have to do every week something that you have never done before.
In my bike training i have to do a series at 185 bpm, to change my diet radically, to lose serious weight, try a new drink, drink only water in training, etc... i have exit the usual to improve. That is the key to move forward. To do over & over the same things doesn't get you very far.
Exception: In sales i do believe that someone with 10,000 client meetings is really better than someone with 100 client meetings. In Sales you do get better with the number of interactions because each meeting is different.
