@Martin: Yeah intelligence, that strange thing so hard to put a finger on.

@Glen: Nice one glen, certainly having a good starting direction and then relying on your own experience is a good path.

I honestly believe you can become an expert on something if you read the right 3-4 books in an industry and then go by your own experiences.

I’ve done it twice now and I’ll do it again in the future, think about that one

You post touches the always existing problem with theory and practice.

Some people are very good in theory but when it comes to practice they fail. Also exists the other way round. – “Theory is when you know how everything works and practice is when everything works but you don’t know why.”

One thing you should also keep in mind is that intelligence (in whatever form) matters also. Some people might master some self-development tool faster than others and they might also learn faster to combine some very effective tools doubling either productivity. Some people might be more flexible than others.

And last but not least: Several people might have totally different type of productivity or self-development success but depending on the field of application it might bring success or fail.

So all those “magic numbers” can be considered to be something like a “marketing gag”.
