So many people assume that those on top of their profession simply do things better than everyone else. Not necessarily.
In many cases, they simply do things differently from everyone else.
My real estate coach Mike Ferry used to tell me to look at what all the other realtors are doing and do the complete opposite if I wanted to succeed - so I did.
Brett Hull was an awesome hockey player and he commented about freeing himself up in an open area on the ice in order to receive a pass. Most would think it's about skating faster or being qjicker to get open - he actually learned that it was often about going slower, and always about going at a different speed than others.
Outrageous tennis player John McEnroe broke paradigms with his outbursts and literally changed the entire interst in the game of tennis - intentionally.
So...if you want different results than most that you know and see and hear about - be willing to go in a different direction, be willing to be different...and even after you've broken a paradigm, you absolutely must continue to challenge yourself and if you do not, others will!
