High performers do not rely on motivation. They build systems and follow rituals to reach their goals.
There are a few individuals in every organisation who perform way above the rest. There are a few entrepreneurs also who outperform everyone else and lead their fields. They are high performers who consistently perform better and produce great results. Everyone in the organisation wants to be like them but does not really know how to match their level of performance. So, what really makes someone a high performer?
Many people attribute high performance to factors like luck, natural talent, education, motivation, or genetics. But after training and coaching more several people in the last 16 years, I have come across some distinct patterns and tools that high performers use to produce stunning results.
Life works on the classic principle of cause and effect. Every outcome you desire is the result of doing certain things in a certain ways. Most people look at the results but do not really look deep enough to understand what led those. If we understand those methods, we can also replicate the results. High performance is not luck or natural talent but is the result of conscious planning and execution of certain key tools and actions.
High- performing entrepreneurs and corporate executives design and develop high-performance systems that propel their performance. These systems consist of rituals and tools that they keep sharpening to stay at the top of the game.
- Success rituals
Each one of us goes through cycles of motivation and demotivation. At the peak of motivation, people start new actions with the hope of creating breakthrough results. But after some time, they are still at the same place. What people do not realise is that motivation is temporary and willpower is overrated. Motivation is excellent but it is like food; you need it thrice a day. Motivation can get you started but only consistent actions produce desired results.
