To separate yourself from the crowd, you must do the opposite of average.
You can accelerate your journey from average to excellent by using the same tips, strategies, and motivation excellent people use that average people don’t.
1.
Develop an amazing attention to detail. Understanding details and being attentive to the finer points is a skill most people do not have.
2.
Learn how to succeed in any environment. The most successful people in the world understand they must use different skills in different environments.
This is not being fake or two-faced. It is a necessary strategy to succeed in all phases of life.
3.
Getting better is your responsibility. No one owes you anything in life.
You must own your choices and the outcomes.
4.
Make time to just sit and think. This will help you avoid making impulse decisions.
Our world is always on and constantly connected. There is constant fear of missing out. Take a breath, step away from the pressure and just think.
5.
Act in a way now that you will be proud to look back on later.
Embarrassment is a good thing.
You should be embarrassed if you didn’t do your best.
Quote of the Week:
“As long as you live, never forget that any fool can disagree with people. It takes a wise man, a shrewd man, a big man to agree – particularly when the other person is wrong.” – Skill With People, Les Giblin
