Giving 100% effort is just enough. Giving more than that? Well, that’s success. Becoming allergic to average means never giving up, and working continuously until you’ve met (no, surpassed) your own great expectations. A song lyric comes to mind, from a great tune by Young the Giant called “My Body”: ‘my body tells me no/but I won’t quit, ‘cause I want more.’ This is how you have to feel in order to be truly successful. Even if your mind is rebelling and your body is exhausted, the truly successful person won’t stop. I find myself working crazy hours at times, but I feel great about it. Why? I know I’m helping provide my clients with services that exceed their expectations and will thrill them. I know I’m working to get them better results than they ever anticipated. This massive effort pays off and ends in total client satisfaction and continued business.
Success, to me, means never stopping, never resting on my laurels, and never being satisfied with just “okay.” A typical 9-5 schedule may be good enough, but it will only equate to results which are average. You’re allergic to that. Go above and beyond. Work the hardest of anyone you know. I tell you, those efforts will be repaid a hundredfold.
