He encourages readers to seek out teachers, coaches, and peers who can provide guidance, feedback, and encouragement. Throughout the book, Leonard offers practical tips and strategies for cultivating a mastery mindset, including setting specific and achievable goals, practicing consistently and deliberately, and embracing a growth mindset.
