PPI #98: What High Performers Do Differently

Please rate and review my podcast here: https://ratethispodcast.com/eric

You have no chance of performing at a high level if you keep doing what you're doing. You have to change your approach. And that is a subject of today. What do high performers do differently?

So three things that high performers do differently. They are intentional, they're productive and they're anti-fragile.

Being more intentional is essentially respecting that behavior follows identity, and that we can choose our identities, and that we first start our journey of high performance of reaching our fullest potential by choosing who it is that we want to be.

The other thing that high performers do with regard to intentionality is that they don't let their feelings get in the way. High performers know that it's having intention about what they want to do, and having that intention drive action, which will generate the feelings they're after.

Second thing that high performers do is that they are productive. They have an evening routine to shut down their day.

They have a powerful morning routine. When they start out their next day, they don't start it just doing any old thing. They start it working on what was deemed to be most important the day before. 

Another big productivity driver for high performers is they're very good at single tasking. Instead of jumping around to a myriad of different things, they focus, 30 minutes, 60 minutes at a time. And that leads to an incredibly high output, much, much higher than jumping around from one thing to the next, throughout the day. 

Last but not least high performers are anti-fragile. They respect that stress builds strength. They step into discomfort rather than shying away from it. And they have an incredible ability to, when they're knocked down, stand quickly back up.
