A black belt in martial arts takes 20 hrs a week of practice for 10 years to reach there. This is roughly 10,000 hrs.
Writing as a skill took me 3 years to learn roughly 10,000 hrs of effort. I was interested in it & I had decent writing skills to start with.
Some skills may take lesser time especially if you are gifted. Singing, Dancing, playing an instrument, playing a sport could be other skills.
Mastering a programming language may take 5 years of fulltime effort. Folks who have higher IQ can do it faster. However some people may take longer too.
Coaching as a skill has taken me 15,000 hours of coaching to learn it well. It took me longer because I had low EQ & my people skills were below average.
On the other hand I took a month to learn swimming 3-4 hrs a day. After a month I could swim 30 laps (50m each) at a stretch though my speed was really slow. Even after years of swimming I could not improve my speed.
It took me roughly 5 years to learn entrepreneurship. Around 10,000 hrs of effort but only after I failed a few times.
