Rising Above Mediocrity and Joining the Top 5% The fact that you’re reading this book tells me that you’re ready
for the next level in your life—that you’re not okay with settling for
less than you can have, be, and do anymore, just because nearly
everyone else does.
Here are three simple, yet decisive steps to rise above mediocrity
and join the top 5%:
Step #1: Acknowledge the 95% Reality Check First, we must understand and acknowledge the reality that 95%
of our society will never create and live the life they really want. We
must embrace the fact that if we don’t commit to thinking and living
differently than most peoplenow, we are setting ourselves up to
endure a life of mediocrity, struggle, failure and regret—just like
most people. Realize that this will include our own friends, family,
and peers if we don’t do something about it now and set an example
of what’s possible when we commit to fulfilling our potential.
Being average means to settle for less than you truly want and
are capable of, and to struggle for your entire life. Every day, most
people settle, and most people struggle on almost every level.
Physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, financially—you
name it—most people wake up each day and struggle to create the
levels of success, happiness, love fulfillment, health and financial
prosperity that they truly desire.
