It seems silly to say this, but showing up is the first key to out-performance.
Sometimes, this means at all. Get there.
Sometimes, it’s about timing. Get there first.
Sometimes, it’s about consistency. Show up more often.
Sometimes, it’s about intensity. Bring more to the game.
What’s true is you can’t win if you’re not on the field. You can’t play if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. There’s no point in being there if you’re not really going to be there.
Simply showing up consistently and in a high-quality way separates you from most of your competition.
Start there.
