soon as something is about to happen."
- Peter Brook
One of my mentors, Justin Morrison, is always quick to remind me that the difference between ORDINARY and EXTRAORDINARY is just a "little extra." What does that actually mean?
For me, this is the FOCUSING agent that keeps me seeking the ONE EXTRA STEP I am able to drive to grow, learn and lead. This is the EXTRA phone call that I make to a client, the breakfast meeting with a friend to talk about a leadership opportunity or even just sending the Morning Motivator on a day that I'm STRUGGLING with my own motivation.
What are you doing extra that makes your SUCCESS a reality? Are you working on making that project EXCEPTIONAL as opposed to passable? Are you helping a client solve a CHALLENGE in their business that doesn't compensate you? Better question - WHAT CAN YOU DO?
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Keeping FOCUS on your desired experience is the key to success in creating EXTRAORDINARY.
When planning your approach to a task - write down the desired goal - the time frame to accomplish it AND the one thing you can do to make it special (ex. Hand deliver vs mailing, calling vs email, etc).
When you focus on the EXPERIENCE - you will ACHIEVE the "little extra" Justin always talks about.
Have a PHENOMENAL weekend!!
Cheers,
Zach
