Run the tape at the end of the day and give an account of your outcomes. The top 1% ask, “What was the best outcome I achieved today” and share it with a significant other on a consistent basis.

At certain times tunnel vision is a good thing.

Somethings are just hard.

I’ve made it through some tough situations with this one strategy: looking only a few steps, tasks, or minutes ahead.

“Doing the next right thing.”

At certain times tunnel vision is a good thing.

Automate, delegate, or eliminate.

My favorite productivity trick is deciding something is actually not worth doing.

Ambiguity

Peak performers acknowledged and accept ambiguity. Rather than being rigid and inflexible, they are ready to adapt when the unexpected comes their way.

Success often hinges on the ability to quickly adjust to change. The top 1% follow a model:

Being open to change; when plans or situations change, step back and look at ways to adapt and adjust.

Reframing difficult situations, to see them as opportunities to learn and grow rather than simply as obstacles.

Persistence

If what you’re doing aligns with what you believe in, plus your definition of success, you must persist without exception. Find a way when it appears there is no way. If what you’re doing does not align with what you believe in, plus your definition of success, then it’s time to make a change.

Questions that peak performers ask:

– What can I eliminate?

– What can be simplified?

– What tasks can be automated?

– Is there anything I can outsource?

Whatever is left over is the most important part of my business.

The law of nature is, do the thing, and you shall have the power: but they who do not the thing have not the power.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The winners are the doers, and they detour from the scenic route of getting nowhere.

Do the thing!

High performance requires more than just hard work; it demands a strategic process built on a strong foundation of mindset. John Foley’s “Glad to be Here” framework emphasizes the following key elements:

1. Mindset: Cultivate a positive, growth-oriented mindset focused on gratitude, presence, and resilience. This is the bedrock of high performance.
2. Intentional Leadership (for teams): Foster trust, open communication, and a commitment to excellence within your team.
3. Alignment: Ensure everyone is working towards the same goals and understands their role in achieving them.
4. Commitment: Cultivate ownership and a bias for action, driving consistent progress.

By implementing this framework, you can create a culture of high performance and achieve sustainable results. And that is how you win the day!
