Avoid being this type of person

There are four types of people.

The dabbler loves trying new things.

They love the high of doing something new, a new business model, a new relationship.

They go through these honeymoon phases in whatever they do, and once that phase ends, they stop.

The obsessive, when they start something new, they get confused because they hit that first point of fast progress, but then they don't realize that all progress is followed by a plateau.

So when they hit that point, they try to keep the progress going up and up and up, but they only burn themselves out.

The hacker tries to skip stages.

They get that initial quick result and then they think they know everything, but they end up going nowhere.

The master, on the other hand, is the only one that understands that most of your life is spent on a plateau.

They understand this crucial thing that if they just stay on the path, the plateau, eventually they will hit another spurt.

Pursue mastery or get stuck wondering why you can't get anywhere in your life.
