In his book OutliersMalcolm Gladwell says that it takes about 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a particular field. While you may not have to devote that much time to become an expert, depending on the subject you select, you are looking at hundreds to thousands of hours of some or all of the following. Studying --reading books, online courses, attending college, watching videos, attending seminars and training programs, learning from other experts within the field. Practicing --actually doing what you are learning.
