The Little Extra

In the book OUTLIERS by Malcolm Gladwell, the difference over a 10 year period of becoming a professional pianist and just being a amateur pianist and a music teacher was an extra 2000 hours. Broken down that is only 30 minutes a day. are you spending an extra 30 minutes a day on your talent??

The principle of the small and simple things is what makes the difference in ones lives. Notice I said an extra 30 minutes a day. How many of us are spending any time a day on our natural talent or ability? Odds are most of us are not spending any time or do not even yet recognize our uniqueness.

I believe there are 2 things that we should become experts in about our self. Number one is our self as a whole in our true'ness' and the five realms which is spiritual, mental, physical, social, and financial. There are literally hundreds of thousands of little extra things we can do to become our best self. The second is becoming an expert in what we are passionate about and naturally skilled in. Becoming specialized is the key.

The b side to the truth today is simple... do the little extra things and the gate will swing open wider in abundance. Get up an extra 15 minutes, arrive 15 minutes early, read for 5 minutes instead of not reading at all, make a couple extra prospecting call, ask a couple extra people for business, spend an extra 10 minutes on cardio, do the extra 2 reps in your work out set, and hundreds of thousands of little extra things that apply to you. This will create a better and easier tomorrow for you.
