The Challenge What Experts Do Help Them Move Forward
Remove Blocks Progress + Payoffs
It’s not about the belt
It’s about the progress
It’s about increasing resolution. It’s about becoming more skillful.
In martial arts, the belt is a representation of where you are
on the path but it’s also a tool for gaining access to new
challenges, better sparring partners, richer instruction, more
advanced coaching, etcetera.
It is never about the belt.
It is about what the belt reects and enables.
It is about meaningful progress.

The secret to a motivating Path Map
“Of all the things that can boost emotions,
motivation, and perceptions during a workday,
the single most important is making progress in
meaningful work. And the more frequently people
experience that sense of progress, the more likely
they are to be creatively productive in the long
run. Whether they are trying to solve a major
scientic mystery or simply produce a high-quality
product or service, everyday progress—even a
small win—can make all the difference in how
they feel and perform.”
– Teresa M. Amabile, Steven J. Kramer
This book has piles of
research on the impact
(and implementation) of
progress indicators.
