10-Day Skill Doubling

A framework for rapidly improving skills (like writing) in just 10 days through targeted practice and specific techniques.

Core Philosophy

  • Most people are closer to being good than they think
  • A few key tweaks can double or triple skill level quickly
  • Becoming "best in the world" takes a lifetime, but doubling skill is achievable fast
  • The right guide with the right techniques can accelerate improvement

Key Learning Methods

Copywork Practice

  • Handwrite successful examples word-for-word
  • Study why each piece works
  • Feel the "texture" of great work
  • Used historically by figures like Ben Franklin
  • Still relevant but often overlooked today
  • Works as an effective warm-up exercise

Course Structure

  • 10-day intensive format
  • Live video instruction
  • Recorded sessions available
  • Limited class size (200 students) for personalized attention
  • Direct feedback from instructor
  • Daily practice assignments
  • Slack channel for communication

Implementation Details

  • Students receive personal feedback at least once during course
  • Instructor reviews 15-20 students' work after each session
  • Focus on practical application over theory
  • Emphasis on studying successful examples
  • Regular practice and feedback loops

Results

  • Students report significant improvement
  • High course satisfaction ratings
  • Consistently fills up quickly (100+ signups in first 2 days)
  • Previous cohorts: 150-350 students
  • Maintains small group feel for better learning outcomes
