5 things that make a huge difference

5 things that make a huge difference

Incremental effort yields exponential results

Doing just a little bit more than others is a proven way to achieve more. Often a LOT more. The road on the “extra mile” isn’t very crowded.

Self-Discipline

Having self-discipline to push yourself to do things that you may not feel like doing is a common trait among successful people.

Focus

Being able to remain focused allows you to do more, do it quickly, and produce outcomes of higher quality.

Consistency

Being consistent with your application of effort is extremely important. The day-in and day-out application of effort makes a huge difference. If your application of effort is consistent, so will be your results.

Tenacity

Not giving up is key. So many times, people will work very hard, and get very close to success, only to stop within reach of the goal. Determination wins.

?

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

– Calvin Coolidge
