For any activity – golf, business, financial management, karate, poker, art, work, music etc – there’s a small number of people doing it who are not good at it at all, a large number of people who are average at it and a small number of people who are extremely good at it.
Plot this on a graph and it creates a bell shape – the large bulge in the middle is the people who are average at the activity. While people can and do move from not very good to average, very few move from average to extremely good.
So how do you move to extremely good?
First identify what the average people are doing to achieve their mediocrity. This is what it takes to be average, and you can avoid it or stop doing it.
Then identify what the successful people are doing and start doing that. And watch your success grow.
What could YOU do with your life if you had just a few more hours each day?
