You Already Know How to be Great – Fine

Failing to utilize the information you already know can prevent you from achieving your goals.

Most people don’t realize they already know how to, play better, work more effectively, but they don’t understand how to put their knowledge into practice. The real obstacle to improvement is failing to implement what you already know. Mastering the tools that turn knowledge into action is they key.

Instead of taking another class, consider trying an “inside-out” approach that focuses on reducing internal distractions so you can work with what you already know. What’s inside you has to come out, whether it’s knowing how to hit a top-spin backhand or writing the best proposal of your life, says author Alan Fine in his book “You Already Know How to Be Great”. To access what’s inside you, you must remove obstacles. The most prevalent hurdles being a feeling of fear, thinking about what should be instinctive and listening to an interior voice that undermines you without you knowing it. These obstacles are interference. Interference prevents you from performing what you already know how to do.
