Mark Lombard’s Success Story: I had an unreasonable goal to get my Life-Mastery in bridge (akin to a "blackbelt") within three years, and that is not an easy feat. To get your Life-Mastery, you need to accumulate at least 300 masters points, and every time you win a competition (a three-and-a-half hour period of time), you typically get a fraction of a point!
