Shift Your Mindset To Be Exceptional

Don’t Excuse yourself often

Excuse is, perhaps, the most prominent roadblock to growth because it’s so hard to argue against it.

Utilize your wasted time

To become exceptional, be mindful of your wasted time, and use it.

Resist shortcuts

Mastery and success require years of hard work, practice, and diligence.

Admit being feared

Exceptional performers feel fear and have learned to push forward when they’re scared.

1% Knowledge belief

Adopt the attitude that, in any discipline, you can never know more than 1% of what there is to learn. It keeps you humble and hungry.

Balance Pros and Cons

The best choices are the ones that have more pros than cons, not those that don’t have any cons at all.

Commitment

It takes only a split second to make a commitment, but exceptional people understand that it’s an act you must do every day, not a one-time event.

Be responsible

Most people accept credit for their successes but deny responsibility for their failures. The exceptional ones take responsibility for all their outcomes.

Accept Imperfectness

Exceptional performers are humans too. They mess up and experience bad days.
