You’ve heard it before: “I want you to give me 110%.”
100% is easy to give. It’s following a road map. Checking a list. Doing exactly what you’re told.
Giving 100% is a linear path whereas giving 110% requires a leap.
It requires us to give up the foundational way of thinking. To get that extra 10%, we have to think differently, act differently, not care what others think, make our own boxes to check.
It’s tough work–all of it is–but it’s tough work performed on a different path.
You won’t achieve that 10% by working a little harder at what you’re already doing.
You achieve it when you deviate with passion, with a mission, and yea, a little fear.
