The quality of your practice determines the caliber of your performance. So getting your morning routine right is a practice. Getting your daily rituals on your A game is a practice. Dialling in your evening habits is a practice. Calibrating and optimizing your pre-sleep ritual, are all practices. Going to work and running the routines and operating systems that are going to allow you to build a world-class company, are all practices. The Spartan warriors say it really well, sweat more in training and you’ll bleed less in war. So I want you to remember that first mindset of an empire maker, the way you practice in private is going to determine the way you perform in public. Practice. The way the great athletes do it, it’s not because of their natural talent. James Flynn is an American psychologist and he’s got this term called capitalization, and capitalization pretty simply means this, it’s not your natural talent that allows you to perform like a Picasso, it’s the amount of the talent you are born with that you capitalize on and bring to the light of day. The quality of your practice determines the caliber of your performance, you want to practice like a superstar. I mean, if you start to look at how the A players perform and practice, it’s what they do when no one is watching that is the essence of their greatness.
