Another lesson that I have found most important is that it is typically not one thing that sets the highly successful apart; it is a lot of little things done just a little bit better or differently that add up to a huge advantage.  And this comes back to being disciplined and consistent.  Let me give you a few examples.
  • An overwhelming majority of our guests have a consistent morning routine designed to help them be productive out of the gate.  No time is wasted.
  • In Episode 91, I absolutely loved Lauren Clemett’s True North example for keeping yourself dialed in on how to succeed. 
    • West stands for “What.”  What is the problem that you solve?  This goes deep.  The problem you are solving is deeper than what you do.  It is all the ways in which what you do affects and helps a client.
    • East stands for “Execution.”  This is the “how” of delivering your what.  The systems, processes, and actions of how you deliver you value.  What are the unique things you do to deliver the service or services that you do?
    • South is “$.”  This is all about the value that you deliver.  What is the real value that you deliver to people’s lives?  How will they feel having worked with you?
    • North is your “True North – Your purpose, passion – your why.”  Why are you so intent on helping people with what you do?  Why is it so important to you?  Why do you keep doing what you are doing – what is it that is you driven?
  • In episode 90, Rick Sterger setup shop in a video store to provide legal services because that is where his clients were.  Most high-end lawyers would never “lower themselves to that level,” but Rick saw the opportunity and used it to thrive.
  • In episode 35, Klyn Elsbury explained that a simple change in philosophy of “living as if your life depended on it” has not only kept her alive when she should be dead from Cystic Fibrosis, but instead has allowed her to thrive in her life and business – even though she spends almost 6 months a year in the hospital! According to doctors she should not have survived this long.  One simple committed mental shift can make all the difference in your life.

How can you find your "Little things?"  Try these steps...
  1. Being disciplined is doing the little things – and you must do them consistently.  
  2. What is one little thing you know you need to do every day that a year from now will impact your success?  Maybe, it is one more sales call to a prospect per day (that’s 365 more per year!) or maybe, it is putting a little more structure in your life so you can be more productive.
  3. Choose one 1-2 little things and start implementing them.
