What makes a person an expert?

Is it their post graduate education? Is a PhD more reliable as an expert than person with only a BA or MA in the same field?

Is it their experience? Does somebody who spends more years in school studying the books and researching their topic of interest actually know more than another person who is out in the field working with the materials or ideas? So what makes a person a health expert, or an expert writer, a great film director or an Internet expert?

I guess there really isn’t any complete answer to those questions. Some of the people considered to be the greatest experts in their fields never completed school because they became bored or impatient.

Thomas Edison was basically self-educated.  He began reading important books at the age of 10 and never stopped.

Steven Spielberg dropped out of university to make movies and learned on the job.

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to work on his computer programming business in his home.

Really, when you stop and think about it, getting a degree in University involves reading the right material and understanding it well enough to get the diploma. So, anyone can become an expert if they are motivated, interested and persistent enough to research the material and use the methods needed to gain experience in their field of interest.

What makes person a winner?

In many sports the difference between being the winner or the loser is often the result of milliseconds. There are many factors that contribute to success in sports but often the difference between those who win the top honors and those who lose are so negligible as to be hardly noticed. In sport and in business those who are triumphant may only accomplish 3% to 5% more than those who fail.

There are many factors that will impact your results with reference to being successful on the Internet but no matter how you approach your website, these are fundamental requirements.
