To separate yourself from the crowd, you must do the opposite of average.
You can accelerate your journey from average to excellent by using these tips, strategies, and motivation to get a little better each day.
1.
Adapt to your environment.
The most successful people in the world can adapt their actions to meet the needs of each unique situation.
The strategies needed to close the deal on the golf course are different from those needed in the board room.
It is not being fake. It is being intelligent.
2.
Do the Work.
The world owes you nothing. You must get to work and earn it.
There are no shortcuts to success.
Consistent, day after day, hard work is the only way to get there.
3.
Develop a high Do-to-Say ratio.
Words don’t matter. Success is about action.
Just talking about it will not get you there.
You must start doing the things you are saying you will do.
4.
Work hard to understand others.
Understanding why people do the things they do will help you make sense of their decisions and actions.
Everyone has a reason why.
Ask questions and let them talk about themselves to help you understand their ‘why’.
5.
Enjoy what you are doing.
Your journey to success is not going to be easy but it is worth the struggle.
Learn to compensate, make adjustments, and keep making progress so you can enjoy the ride.
