W07 Book Report: Mastery
George Leonard taught in his book that mastering something, you need to be practicing
the activity or the skill just to practice and not just for the end goal. I couldn't agree more with
this lesson because I actually practice it. Before even reading this book , i first fell in love with
accounting in my first year of BYU Idaho. And even though my goal is to become a CPA later in
life I work full time at an accounting firm in Utah to get experience on top of education to
accomplish my goal. I don't just go to work because of accounting though I go because I love the
people that I do bookkeeping and text prep for. So wherever someone is on their progress in a
skill or activity this book can help one master that skill or activity.
One of the biggest things that Leonard emphasizes in his book is to build habits. He
states that practice must be done for the sake of practice, not to get results. When solving A
Rubik's Cube, a master must memorize the patterns and algorithms and techniques to get a
puzzled cube back to a cube of solid colors. There are many different algorithms to solve a
Rubik's Cube and so a master must memorize not only the algorithms but the movement of the
cube so that he or she can get faster and faster and solving the cube. You can go on the Internet
and look up these algorithms but if you don't teach them to yourself
your mind will never gain
The muscle memory. So it is through diligent practice and memorization that someone can solve
a Rubik's Cube multiple times and faster each time.
The five key components of mastery our instruction, practice, surrender, intentionality,
and edge. Every good master has a mentor that gives instruction to help the master along his
journey to become a master. And then there's practice and even though that when it's self-
explanatory that's where dedication in motivation drawing with the continuance of practicing
that skill. Surrender can look like many different things but for most people it is time. In order to
master something you must dedicate and sacrifice time, or even money in order to master
something. Knowing your own intentions of why you want to master this skill will enhance your
motivation and help you perform. And the last skill for mastery is developing an edge. This is
also known as sharpening the saw in seven habits of highly effective people. Mastery is
something that never stops. Once you master a skill you can always progress further and
possibly even master in new ways. Or even by taking a step back and evaluating where you
came from.
If it's not obvious by the cover of the book , the goal of mastery is to help one to become
a master. One of the things that I do that Leonard talks about is visualizing the end goal. But not
only visualizing the end but to also lay out the road in front of you. Lots of people have an idea
of what they want to be or who they want to become that they lack the drive to accomplish the
goals that they create. If we can visualize who we want to be and also set the path to become
what we want to be then we can achieve our goals and become a master of our own destiny.
If there's anything that this book taught me it's that I want to become the master of
Myself. Meaning that I want to be able Acquire the mastery of skills that allow me to be the
master of my own life. And for me what that looks like Is to work hard every day in my full time
employment and my full time education and take the small steps every day to learn from my
professors and employer,
to practice my craft, sacrifice my time two perfect my process,
reaffirm my goals and intentions, And sharpen my skills. I know that by doing this,then I can
have mastery.

Part 1
(Comprehensive Problem) Suppose that you are in the fall of your senior year and are faced with the choice of either getting a job when you graduate or going to law school. Of course, your choice is not purely financial. However, to make an informed decision you would like to know the financial implications of the two alternatives. Let's assume that your alternatives are as follows:
If you take the "get a job" route you expect to start off with a salary of
$35,000
per year. There is no way to predict what will happen in the future, your best guess is that your salary will grow at
4
percent per year until you retire in
42
years. As a law student, you will be paying
$30,000
per year tuition for each of the
3
years you are in graduate school. However, you can then expect a job with a starting salary of
$75,000
per year. Moreover, you expect your salary to grow by
7
percent per year until you retire
36
years later.
