Book Description
Too many people underachieve. Sometimes they recognize this condition but, most often, it's a hidden factor in their life. They settle for a "less than" opportunity to be their best self. We compare ourselves to others and deflate the air out of our sails. Instead, you need to forget the outside competition. Your competition instead should focus on your performance. Whatever that is, that becomes your level of excellence. But, it can be more!!Self-competition gives us the level of excellence we possess. Inertia holds us back. We brace, anchor our feet, and settle for less than our abilities can produce. Using the lessons from this book, readers now have a template and strategy to raise their level of excellence and move closer to becoming the best version of themselves.Use the messages in this book to evaluate where you are on the scale of your success potential. Be real! Be honest! Don't settle for a lesser version. Dig in and push forward with all the energy and abilities you have. Seek the support of others as needed. Then, add a bit more!If you ask someone to reach up as high as they can, they will reach a certain height. Mark that height on a structure with a pencil. Then, ask them to reach a little higher, the hands go higher and pass the mark on the wall. It's a vivid picture of how we tend to stop short of the goal we can achieve. We tend to "hold back" a bit almost afraid to stretch and risk. Just a little more pushing of our abilities help us cross the finish line. Read this book slowly, making notes as the ideas flow. Record your thoughts. They become the list of future actions you can take. They become the extra "stretch" that raises your mark on the wall above where you originally thought was your highest mark. Dig deep and become the best version of yourself. Why settle for less?
