Analyst Mastermind

In today's episode, we discuss the "Mastery" mindset and how CFA candidates can implement strategies to act like a master, not an amateur. All work and effort is not created equal. Do not mistake activity for achievement! The mastery mindset is prevalent in athletics, music, chess, and other elite activities. However, most candidates never consider that they need to shift their mindset and work like a true professional.  We cover several topics: - The power of no and why candidates have to be ruthless in choosing their core activities.  - Wisdom vs. Facts/Information - The "Rage to Master" - Shallow vs. Deep Work - Deliberate Practice - Knowing what you don't know - Resiliency - Solo Study   Key Books: Mastery, Robert Greene Essentialism, George McKeown So Good They Can't Ignore You, Cal Newport Turning Pro, Steven Pressfield
