The 10,000 Hour Rule Is DEAD - What Actually Creates Marketing Mastery in 2026

Описание: Everyone quotes Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule. But after 20+ years in marketing, $100M+ in trackable revenue, and helping 200+ businesses scale—I'm telling you: you're focused on the wrong metric.
In this episode of the Revenue Ronin Daily Mastermind, we break down what ACTUALLY creates mastery in marketing and sales. Spoiler: It's not about time invested, it's about iterations completed.

✅ The 3 real markers of marketing mastery (pattern recognition, systematic solutions, revenue gap vision)
✅ How to compress 10 years of learning into 18 months
✅ The 4-pillar framework for running profitable ad campaigns
✅ Why 80% of businesses have broken tracking (and how to fix it)
✅ The secret to sustainable growth vs. hockey stick failure
✅ Strategic partnerships that scale faster than paid ads
