00:10

By a show of hands.

00:11

How many of you believe you could replicate this image of Brad Pitt

00:15

with just a pencil and piece of paper?

00:17

Well, I'm going to show you how to do this.

00:21

And in so doing,

00:22

I'm going to give you the skill necessary

00:24

to become a world-class artist.

00:27

And it shouldn't take more than about 15 seconds.

00:30

But before I do that,

00:31

how many of you believe you could replicate this image

00:34

of a solid gray square?

00:36

(Laughter)

00:37

Every one of us.

00:38

And if you can make one gray square,

00:40

you can make two, three, nine ...

00:43

Truth of the matter is,

00:44

if you could made just one gray square,

00:46

it'd be very difficult to argue

00:48

that you couldn't make every gray square necessary

00:52

to replicate the image in its entirety.

00:55

And there you have it.

00:56

I've just given you the skills necessary to become a world-class artist.

01:00

(Laughter)

01:01

I know what you're thinking.

01:03

"That's not real art,

01:04

certainly wouldn't make me a world-class artist."

01:07

So let me introduce you to Chuck Close.

01:09

He's one of the highest-earning artists in the entire world, for decades,

01:14

he creates his art using this exact technique.

01:18

You see, what stands between us

01:20

and achieving even our most ambitious dreams

01:23

has far less to do with possessing some magical skill or talent,

01:27

and far more to do with how we approach problems

01:30

and make decisions to solve them.

01:33

And because of the continuous and compounding nature

01:35

of all those millions of decisions

01:38

that we face on a regular basis,

01:40

even a marginal improvement in our process

01:43

can have a huge impact on our end results.

01:45

And I'll prove this to you

01:47

by taking a look at the career of Novak Djokovic.

01:50

Back in 2004,

01:51

when he first became a professional tennis player,

01:54

he was ranked 680th in the world.

01:56

It wasn't until the end of his third year

01:58

that he jumped up to be ranked third in the world.

02:02

He went from making 250,000 a year to 5 million a year,

02:07

in prize money alone,

02:08

and of course, he did this by winning more matches.

02:11

In 2011, he became the number one ranked men's tennis player in the world,

02:15

started earning an average of 14 million a year in prize money alone

02:19

and winning a dominating 90% of his matches.

02:23

Now, here's what's really interesting

02:25

about all of these very impressive statistics.

02:28

Novak doesn't control any of them.

02:31

What he does control are all the tiny little decisions

02:34

that he needs to make correctly along the way

02:37

in order to move the probability

02:40

in favor of him achieving these types of results.

02:43

And we can quantify and track his progress in this area

02:46

by taking a look at the percentage of points that he wins.

02:49

Because in tennis

02:51

the typical point involves one to maybe three decisions,

02:55

I like to refer to this as his decision success rate.

02:58

So, back when he was winning about 49% of the matches he was playing,

03:03

he was winning about 49% of the points he played.

03:06

Then to jump up, become number three in the world,

03:09

and actually earn five million dollars a year

03:11

for swinging a racquet,

03:13

he had to improve his decision success rate

03:15

to just 52 percent.

03:18

Then to become not just number one

03:20

but maybe one of the greatest players to ever play the game,

03:23

he had to improve his decision success rate

03:26

to just 55 percent.

03:28

And I keep using this word "just."

03:30

I don't want to imply this is easy to do,

03:32

clearly, it's not.
