Whether you think so or not, it is possible to become an expert in almost any field these days. You just need to have the motivation and the know-how to do so. We will help you become an expert in almost any field in this post.

According to Benjamin Bloom, 95 percent of people have the ability and capacity to learn and acquire knowledge in almost any field.

This means that the first step to becoming an expert is learning. It is the first and most important step in the process.

You need to figure out which learning method is best for you. Are you a visual learner or a verbal learner? Are you a sensing or an intuitive learner? Are you a sequential or a global learner? Are you an active or a reflective learner?

There are two more things you need to become an expert in any field and they are knowledge and skill.

It takes someone at least 10,000 hours of experience to become an expert in any given field. So, basically, you need to work 20 hours per week for 10 years to become an expert in the field of your choice. The brain requires at least eight weeks when building neutral pathways for new skills you are attempting to learn.

So, how do you know when you have become an expert?

There are two things that will be present in your life. The first is that you will be able to evaluate situations using your judgment of ideas and methods with evidence and criteria from other informed decisions.

The second is that you will be able to create new tasks using learned ones from your previous work experiences.
