I love the idea of going the extra mile.
It get’s you to do a whole lot of right things,
that ultimately end up making life awesome all around.
But here’s kind of a cool little truth
I’ve discovered…
You don’t have to go the extra mile to be vastly more successful
than most of the people on the planet, at anything.
All you need is to go the extra inch.
What I mean is that, like Napolean Hill says
in “Think And Grow Rich” most people stop
3 feet from gold.
This may be over simplifying it, but you could
say that the secret to success is to just do a little more
than most people are willing to do or are already doing,
and you’ll win.
It’s like the old story about two friends hiking in the forrest…
They see a bear, and start running.
One friend shouts to the other, “there’s no way you can out run a bear!”
The other friend shouts back, ” I don’t have to, I just have to out run you!”
And that’s the truth.
If you want to win in business and in life, you probably only need to be a little bit better than the next best.
Every once in a while you’ll have break throughs that are game changers and
totally shift the paradigm and change everything… Those are great moments.
But along the way, just remember to go the extra inch.
If you can be just a little better today than yesterday… A little better than the next best competitor… And do that consistently where you’ll end up is amazing.
I’ve just found that the consistency part is what’s tricky. You need help, encouragement and fuel to keep going all the time.
And that’s why I put together Entrepreneur Inspiration Monthly.
It gives you the insight, inspiration, and ideas to get yourself to go that extra inch.
I know it may not solve every problem you have or give you all the answers… Who can? What does?
I do know that these interviews give me an extra inch every time I do them, and every time I re-listen.
So, why not try it out? It’s only $7 bucks and if you don’t like it in the first month,
let me know and we’ll get your money back to you and you’ll never be billed again.
