KEY TAKEAWAYS
95% of people never really achieve their full potential or follow all of their dreams – you have a choiceyou do not need to be one of them.
Choose to be in the 5% and then avoid the traps of mediocrity
The 7 causes of mediocrity:
Rear view mirror syndrome – assuming what happened in the past will be the same in the future, but your past does not dictate your future
Lack of purpose and vision – not knowing what you want to achieve
Isolating incidents – kidding yourself that the ‘one-off’ doesn’t matter, but the way you do anything is the way that you do everything
Lack of accountability – can cause you to get blown off track
Having a mediocre circle of influence – the people you spend time with affects your own attitude, ambition and mood
Lack of personal development – the best investment you can ever make is in yourself
Lack of urgency – this can mean things can drift
To be able to help others you have to be in good shape, so looking after your needs is not a selfish act.
Being self-aware will help you to spot when you are simply settling for mediocrity.
Draw a line in the sand, you can choose to go for miracle not mediocrity. Don’t wait start today
You need to take a little time out for yourself to be able to go from mediocre to miracle.
Set yourself up to be productive using the simple 7 step morning routine that Jeannette shares. This will set you off in the right direction every single day.
6 key areas (SAVERS) to create your ‘miracle morning’ that really works: Silence – time in silence to create calmness
Affirmations – say out loud what you want to achieve/become
Visualisation – imagine what it will look & feel like and the actions you need to take to get you there
Exercise – healthy body = healthy mind
Reading – learn something new every day
Scribing (writing) – keep a diary or take notes
Always be learning and look after yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally
Your past does not dictate your future.
Do not delay starting your journey from mediocre to miracle.
