Fundamental of Achievement
Skill
Building
Skills are vital to the pursuit of achievement in any arena. Without them, you simply can’t excel. Building your skills makes you more likely to succeed in both solo and group endeavors. The only real question is whether you should focus on adding new skills or developing deeper ones.

What Is Skill Building?
Skill building is the process of developing one’s ability to execute specific tasks competently. This includes building new skills as well as improving existing ones. Adding skills increases range of opportunity while upgrading skills increases effectiveness and efficiency.
Why Skill Building?
Skill acquisition is one of the most direct ways to improve your quality of life. Your skills open doors and give you more control of your outcomes.
I don’t claim to be an expert on anything I write about.
Hell, I hardly claim to be an expert on myself. 😂😂😂
These breakdowns are largely for me. I use them to record and reference. Unlike most others on this site though, this goal setting page might actually be useful to the outside observer.
No promises. You can tell me.
Human Value Add
The higher your competence, the more valuable your contributions. The right skills make you indispensable.
For the Sake of It
Being good at things not only adds meaning to life, it is fun. At the very least, it’s more fun than being sucking.
Greatness Requisite
Skill building is a building block to mastery, and therefore a building block to overall success and achievement.
Rainy Day Hedge
When sh!t hits the fan, your skillset is one of the only things you can rely on. It protects you when tragedy strikes.
Skill building is more straightforward than most aspects of achievement. Here’s a quick look at what the skill building journey has been like for me.

My Experience
I’m climbing my way toward mastery.
More than anything, I just need a few more years.
I already have a fairly sophisticated system. But for me, figuring out what I really want takes reps.
I use my goals to carve out a life purpose.
Points of emphasis respond to change in both me and in the world. But all the while, they pull me forward.
I create goals then mold my character to the traits that those objectives require. My goals help me discover the man I need to be so that I can do the things I want to do.
So far, they’ve served me well. Long may it continue.

Good Life Foundation
Goals are fundamental. They are an essential pillar of a good life. Without them, it’s easy to get blown to and fro by the winds of the world.
Where Goal Setting Fits in a Good Life
Goals are one of the most important pieces of the Achievement puzzle.
For me, they’re a “Tier 2” concept, on the same level as Mindset, Habits, Growth, and High Performance.
It is also closely tied to practices like Journaling.

develop new skills… improve existing ones
lots of people waste time developing skills that don’t help their life at all… like the ability to scroll social media or media or play videos game…
sure, a little bit tongue in cheek but valid in that your brain optimizes for their tasks, making you “better” at them even though they’re probably making you worse in actuality
there is a case for going narrow (specialist) and a case for going wide (generalist)
What’s more, higher level skills makes you more valuable to the marketplace and society as a whole.
