One Rule to Lead Your Field in This Era of Hypercompetition

If you look at any great athlete, any great chess champion, any great chef, any great entrepreneur, any great athlete, any great mother, any great taxi driver, the quality of the performance that you experience when you watch them is all about what they do when no one’s watching. How much do you practice? How much do you read? How much do you study? How much do you deconstruct your winning formula in a journal so the next day you can get even better? The caliber of your practice determines the quality of your performance. And if you look at any championship team, they will tell you that the world championship was won before they put even one foot on the playing field.
