Your level of effort tends to come from how much you believe in yourself. If you are overcome with self-doubt or have a lack of belief you will cap the level of your success. The only way you can see what you capable of, is to take action. We do not tap into all of our skills as much as we could. We usually need to be challenged in some way to tap into our internal resources. What you will probably learn is that many of the challenges we face are the challenges created in our minds.
An effort is fueled by a person’s passion for achieving a goal. With commitment, determination, and perseverance achieving what seemed impossible can become possible. Don’t be afraid to put in the hard work necessary to achieve your goals. You will get better through repetition and pay attention to the smallest increments of change.
Daniel Coyle also talked about how hockey great Wayne Gretzky would fall while doing solitary drills on the ice. Gretzky purposely did this so he would find ways to improve his skating ability. In Hank Haney’s book about Tiger Woods, he talks about how Tiger Woods would change up his swing so that he could develop greater precision with his swing. By disrupting patterns and practicing a new ways, you create new neuropathways that provide an opportunity to rewire the way you do things and by doing so they achieve greater success. Even with talent in order to get better you have to be willing to make mistakes and to learn from them see you can become better at your strengths.
Put in the effort let them take your talents farther than you allow them to be. You are meant for greatness- don’t hold back.

hen you start comparing other people successes to your own you diminish your own worth. You need to be aware of the strength that you bring to the marketplace and how you and what you deliver is different and can stand above the crowd. Ensure that competition and comparisons don’t lead you into a Lone Ranger mentality. There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. Sometimes when were lonely we latch on to anyone -even if they’re not the ideal client. But when you are alone, you can be true to yourself and get really clear about your compelling vision. Your job is to delegate or outsource to others so that they can help you achieve that compelling vision. Build your team gradually. They don’t need to be full-time team members; you can hire people on a part-time basis or by contract. If you tried to do everything by yourself for a long period of time, your business will not be sustainable. You may even burn out.
Go to networking events and build relationships beyond the hello. Connect with associations in your industry. Discover what their goals are and how you can help. As you help others achieve their goals, they in turn will want to help you. This is called the law of reciprocity. You will build a loyalty and trust like no other. Learn to be happy for those who are succeeding around you instead of being caught in the comparison trap. Believe in yourself and believe that your success is on its way as well. What you are admiring is one moment or period of time. Their dream is their dream. Your dream is yours. You need to stay focused on why you are doing what you’re doing and what you want to accomplish. The outcomes may not be the same. Don’t lose sight of yourself by wishing that you are living someone else’s life, you have so much to offer and we need it done your way.
Being accountable isn’t always easy. There’s increased responsibility and expectations on ourselves to achieve more. If you are consistent and work hard, you will often end up achieving more than you believe possible. The impossible became possible when people took the necessary actions steps consistently to get to where they want to go. Being accountable can position you to feel unstoppable. You will learn to trust yourself and your abilities for getting those results. The other day I briefly watched a segment of @garyvee (Gary Vaynerchuk) and he said that most people are walking around like they’re coming back. This struck a chord with me. It may be due to my nursing background and having held a baby after its first breath and also holding the hand of someone who is dying and takes their last. Life is too short to not put in 100% effort. People tend to be scared of that accountability factor maybe because they think someone’s checking up on them. The only person checking up on you is yourself and holding yourself to a higher standard.
