If you want to get better at something . . . you need to work or play with someone better than you at the thing you want improve.

Let's use tennis as an example . . . If you play someone with skills beneath yours, you are getting exercise, but you aren't challenged.

If you play at your level, you get a workout and maybe a challenge.

However, if you play a better player . . . you have to stretch and grow to win-- you improve!

This principle applies to anything . . .including:

• Career
• Personal finance
• DIY projects
• Personal growth
• Etc.

So, start stretching and challenging yourself.  Learn from those who are more accomplished than you.

Soon you will be on their level and you will need to look for new challenges.
