How to Dramatically Increase Your Chance for Outstanding Success

How to Dramatically Increase Your Chance for Outstanding Success

Imagine if you knew the one extra ingredient that would dramatically increase your chance for outstanding success? What a difference it would make in your business, career, and life!  I have discovered from years of experience that the real secret to success lies in your willingness to go the extra mile. It is the extra effort…the extra work that will make the difference.

Wisdom from My 8^th Grade English Teacher

I learned this secret many years ago. My 8^th grade English teacher, Mrs. Young, told us to always “Go beyond the call of duty.” Her words of admonishment and encouragement have stayed with me over the years.

There are many influencers and gurus who often toot short-cuts and get rich quick schemes. Do not believe them.

Wisdom from Zig Ziglar

Nothing beats “Under promise, over deliver.” As the great salesman Zig Ziglar said, “If you are always willing to do more than what you get paid for, eventually you will be paid for more than you actually do.”

“The Law of Reciprocity”

Robert Cialdini, in his seminal book, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion explains how when you do something for someone, it sets the stage for them to do something for you in return. Cialdini calls this “The Law of Reciprocity.”

When you go the extra mile for your client, you have set the stage for “The Law of Reciprocity” to start working. “The Law of Reciprocity” does not work for “normal,” “average,” or even “special” service or products.  It takes much more to trigger “The Law of Reciprocity.” You must do something “extraordinary” in today’s highly competitive market to gain an advantage.

Look at What Your Competitors are Doing

Look at what your competitors are doing. Then do something different. Your clients want and deserve something better than what everyone else is doing.  Start doing what your competitors cannot do or are not willing to do.

Get a new perspective on your business and then go the extra mile for your clients. Only then will “The Law of Reciprocity,” create a compelling reason for your client to want to reciprocate.  Dare to be different!

Conclusion/Call to Action

Contrary to what the experts say, there is no short cut to success. If you want to dramatically increase your chance for outstanding success, you must be willing to go the extra mile. It is lonely on that extra mile, but is where you will find the outstanding success that you dreamed of achieving.
