“Be So Good They Can’t Ignore You”

– Steve Martin

My friend Ryan Hawk interviewed Benjamin Hardy recently. Among many things, he’s the #1 writer on Medium.com.

This is a great podcast episode and three things I really liked were this:

Stretch your abilities:

• Commonalities of leaders who sustain excellence.
• They continually put themselves in situations that demand a lot of them.

Put yourself in high stakes situations:

• They invest in themselves
• They create conditions for success to happen
• Being socially invested is a forcing function
• Signing up for a race or event – put it on the calendar to prepare for

High performers invest in coaches:

• Your decisions determine your destiny
• Visualize the process, not just the outcome
• Create environments for optimal implementation
• Pre-plan for adversity to strike and how you will respond
