Do you want to be an outlier?

In statistics that term means standing out. Being in the top 2%.

Malcolm Gladwell, in his newest bestselling book, Outliers, identifies many of the factors that contributes to becoming an outlier. Some of the contributing factors we don't have control over. The one we do is the amount of time we spend "practicing". He identified how real world outliers in all areas of life put in time. Gladwell identified that they all practiced their craft for more than 10,000 hours before they were recognized as exceptional performers.

So, if you want to be an outlier, you need to be willing to put in the time.

But don't just go out there and start taking action.

First get clear about what you are looking to create or achieve.

Here are some questions to ponder:

What do I want to do with my life?

What do I want to experience?

Who do I want to be?

What do I want to change or shape?

What legacy do I want to leave?

Who and how do I want to impact people?

To Your Big Deam!
