Good morning and welcome to the Increased Reimpa podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1,764. Happy New Year.

I hope 2023 is filled with a lot of opportunities to become a better version of yourself.

Today we are talking about a hard truth. And one of the hard truths is that most people are average at what they do.

I think we talk about greatness.

We talk about high achievement.

We talk about excellence and being elite.

But statistically speaking, mathematically speaking, most people are average at what they do. Now, some helpful questions to

consider if you want to do something about it is this. Number one, you want to ask yourself,

what are my blind spots? What are things that you don't even know you're not good at?

And they're blind spots because you can't see them from your own

perspective. You're going to have to ask other people to expose them for you. Number two, what specific

things do I need to improve? Ask yourself that. What specific things do you need to improve? You can't

just say be more focused. What does that even mean? Have more energy, be more positive. What does that look like

behaviorally? And number three, how do I get reps to improve those things through deliberate practice?

What evidence do you have that you are actually working on that thing instead of just sitting there

and thinking about it, dreaming it hoping for it how do

you get actual reps to improve those those things now you might be wondering okay so what does that

mean one way to think about it is think about a camera crew is following you and you have the camera

watching you how would the audience know you are practicing that thing?

How would we know? What would we see on camera? And so there you have it. Three things to help you

get yourself out of being average. Number one, what are your blind spots? Number two, what specific

things do you need to improve? And number three, how do you get reps to improve those things through deliberate practice?
