A little bit more.

The best of the best always want a little bit more.

The best leaders, always go the extra mile to be prepared.

The best athletes, always put the extra work in to be prepared.

The best coaches, always watch the extra film to be prepared.

The individuals who consistently outperform everyone else around them always do a little bit more. So much of success is in the effort. So much of what will elevate you from good to great, or from great to elite comes down to how much more you want.

Always want a little bit more.

Don’t settle for going into your next meeting with no notes and questions for the team, a few minutes of thought can be the difference maker. What if the question you bring up leads to the next breakthrough?

Don’t settle for 150 made shots after practice when you can get 250 makes in only a few minutes of extra time. What if your big moment is just around the corner, don’t you want to be ready?

Don’t settle for running the 2 miles you set out for, push yourself to get 2.5 or even 3 miles. The 10 minutes of pushing yourself beyond what you set out to do will be worth it.

Don’t settle for just doing enough to get by. Don’t settle for just doing the requirements. Always want more. Always seek more. The more you seek the larger your capacity to do will grow.  

Every time you successfully challenge yourself to go beyond your expectations you will gain momentum, you will gain confidence, and you will be better because of it.

Where can you do a little bit more than expected today? More importantly, will you do it?
