Today's challenge

Our final challenge is an obvious one but will take more than just a day. Today's challenge is to become a subject expert.

Make a plan.

Figure out what type of expert you want to be.

Create a list of books, magazine articles, blogs, patents or anything else to help you learn.

Immerse yourself in the topic and learn everything you can.

Start writing about that topic.

Make people love your subject as much as you do.

Find a place where you can give a talk about your expertise.
