get out of your own way- the five keys to surpassing everyone’s expectation

July 27th, 2008

  • Key 1: Direction, not motion

It’s not how busy you are or how fast you’re moving, it’s how effectively you are advancing in the right direction.

  • Key 2: Focus, not time

It’s not how well you plan your time, it’s how effectively you put your attention on what matters most . . . in advance and as it unexpectedly appears.

  • Key 3: Capacity, not conformity

It’s not how good you are at copying others or making incremental improvements, it’s how bold you are at unlocking hidden potential – in yourself and others — and applying it in new ways.

  • Key 4: Energy, Not Effort

It’s not how hard you try or how long you work, it’s how effortlessly you get more of the right things done.

  • Key 5: Impact, Not Intentions

It’s not how lofty your intentions are or how much you want things to improve, it’s how measurable a difference you are making.
