The Power of Putting in a Little Extra Effort

I’m fascinated by the concept of “a little extra effort” My dad used to say it all the time... if you put in just 10% more work than the next guy you’ll set yourself up for massive opportunity. People are lazy by nature. We don’t like to change the status quo more than necessary so when it comes to putting in extra effort it takes a special person to take the initiative. Most people might not hold the door open for that grandma but I do. Most people won’t say hi to the random person on the street but I do. Most people won’t post every day or (insert something you should be doing everyday) because they think they can get away with it once in a while but I do. Why do I tell you this? Is it to brag? Absolutely not. First off it’s because I was raised to be nice and do the right thing, but secondly I understand that everything you do is an opportunity. Opening the door for someone may lead to a conversation that may lead you to a connection you never would have thought possible before. Do I go in with the mentality, that I’m going to get something from them? No in fact it’s extremely rare that anything beyond a simple thank you will happen. But simply putting in the extra effort can lead to extraordinary things every once in a while. Don’t be the guy that says ah I can skip every once and a while with no problem. Put in the extra 10%. It’s not hard, it just takes discipline and awareness. Be blessed and stay stoked😎🤙 • • • • • •
