FULL TRANSCRIPT

Hello and welcome to the Malkan Show podcast. I am making Meghna Malkan. Thanks so much for joining me today on this episode of the podcast.

I know your time is valuable and I'm really happy that you're listening to me today. I have begun with this podcast because after being coach By the world's best. I wanted to share with you guys what success habits such as tools and queues have helped me get on to higher levels of performance at work.

Have a great relationship with my spouse and kids and what really helps me stay focused and motivated all the time. So guys, let's dive into the next episode.

 

We all have goals in life and have a common goal and the best goal one can have is to be all that we can be and of course the universe space excellent rewards only for excellent performance.

It pays average rewards for average performance and below-average rewards underachievement failure and frustration for below average results in our economic system Your income will be determined by three factors. First is what you do.

 

Second How will you do it and third is the difficulty of replacing you for the work that you do? So this brings us to that one most important quality of successful people, which is that at a certain point in their careers.

They decided to commit to Excellence and that brings us to the one very important quality of successful people, which is a certain point in the careers.

They decided to commit to Excellence decided to be the best at what they do. They decided to pay any price make any sacrifice and invest any amount.

 

The time necessary to become very good in their chosen fields. And as a result of this decision, they pulled away from the pack of average performers and move upwards maybe into the income category wet today.

They own maybe three four five or ten times as much as appears to be all have heard about this rule 80/20 rule that called the parity principle where it says 20% of the things that we do are responsible for the 80% results that we get for example in a business 20% of the revenue responsible for 80% of the revenue.

This means that 80% of the sales would make only 20 percent of the revenue. That's how if we divided ourselves so that point if you just really think about it. Why not be in the top 20% rather than be in the bottom 80%

 

deciding to be in the top 20 percent changes your life forever. Have you ever thought about it that anyone any High performers successful people who are in the top ten percent of his or her field right now ever at one point of time started at the bottom 10% everyone who is doing well today was once doing poorly everyone was at the front of the buffet of the line started at the back of the line some point of time in their lives?

 

And even more importantly he would realize that. Those have done within reason all of us could do as well you could do it I could do it anyone could do it. and this turns out to be true for anyone. So no one is better than us and no one is smarter than us.

People are just better or smarter and different areas of their lives in addition All business skills are learnable people who are doing better in some area of this is have learned the essential skills in combination with other skills before they have so if you're not achieving One of those are achieving it simply means that you don't just learn those skills yet. And that's a big realization guy that you can learn anything.

You need to learn to achieve any goal that you can set for yourself. There are no real limits on what you can accomplish except for the limits that we place on our own mind and your own imagination.

For instance. If you decide to become excellent, you can join the top 10% of people in your field immediately. Nothing on Earth can stop.

 

you from getting dead except of course yourself. The next question is is it going to be easy and the answer is of course not no one promises that anything in self-development person development is going to be easy to do everything worthwhile takes a long time and a lot of work to accomplish but it is possible if you wanted badly enough and you're willing to work long enough and it is worth every bit of the effort.

Once you get there, have you heard Les Brown the famous motivational speaker say it was achieve something that you have never achieved before you must become someone you have never been before this goes on to this brings us to our old pyramid that I keep referring to again?

And again the be doing have pyramid to have more you have to be more you must first become more. So once you decide to become one of the best people in your feet the next

 

The question you ask yourself is how do I achieve it? The very fact that hundreds of thousands and even millions of people have gone from the bottom to the top of every field is an ample amount of proof that you can do it as well and many of these people.

If not, of course, most of them had may not even have the natural talents and abilities that you have in most areas of life.

It's like more hard work and dedication than natural ability. and talent that lead to Excellence and great success if see the analysis of the richest people in the country you realize that so many of them belong to that category who may be dropped out from high school, but still made it to the Forbes richest list and I say this because many people feel that if they do they don't get good grades in school there permanently Limited in what they can accomplish later in life.

 

Nothing can be farther from the truth some of the wealthiest and most successful men and women on planet Earth throughout the world did poorly in school and that's a fact result say so so remember the question have you how do you eat an elephant?

For instance? And the answer is you eat an elephant one bite at a time?

And this is the same way that you become absolutely excellent at what you do you move to the top one step once And one small Improvement at a time the fact remains that your current level of knowledge and skill is becoming obsolete at a faster rate in today's world than it was ever before now given this situation.

The good news is that when you start to aggressively upgrade your Knowledge and Skills to become the best version of yourself that you can become in your field. It will be as if you are in a race and you are the only one who's really running. And very soon

 

You will move ahead of the back and into the lead position. Meanwhile, most of the people around you in your feel. Maybe Simply Be strolling around doing what just they need to do to keep their jobs.

You will be on your race to Excellence. So the idea of committing to Excellence that has occurred to you may never even have occurred to them.

So keep up with the idea of Excellence, even when you get there and you can begin your Journey to Excellence by asking one simple question. What additional knowledge skills.

 

And information when I need to Lead Me. The feeling that I am maybe into the months and years ahead.

To project yourself forward three years five years ten years down the line and imagine you are one of the very best highest paid people in your field what they would have a need to have happened. What would you need to have done?

What will you need to have learned or accomplished to reach this point in ink or that what skills? Would you have had to master to lead in the field that you are in?

 

Think about that. And here's another one. This is a great question for the rest of your working life.

What one skill if you developed and did in an excellent fashion, what has the greatest positive impact on your career?

And this should become your focal point for personal and professional development henceforth and if you find yourself unsure about the answer to this question go and ask someone maybe ask your coach or the mentor of the guide.

Ask your spouse your family your friends your colleagues your boss.

 

It is absolutely essential that you find out the answer to this question and then Focus all of your energies on improving your performance in this particular area.

So then this becomes your major definite purpose for personal and professional Improvement. Write it down somewhere set a deadline to make a plan and take the actual new plan and then do something every single day even a small action every single day to get better in this particular skill.

And once you have achieved Mastery in your weakest key result area, then ask the question again. Now what one skill will help me the most and whatever your answer.

 

That question is go and work on that skill again until you achieve Mastery in that area as well. And once you keep yourself improving and all these important areas and commit to working day after day week after week month after month. You will have become an expert.

Guys, we're all born with certain natural skills abilities, and tendencies and we all have their strengths and weakness and balance, and all these emergent early life and usually crystallized in our late teens.

They do not change very much over the course of our life for the most important steps that you can ever take in your career has to identify. What is it that you're really good at or what is it that you can become good at and then put your whole heart into becoming excellent in that area?

Anything else you would go and buy the book reading goals in life is to identify isolate those one or two things that you can do better and enjoy more than killing is and then you can focus on the comic Flutie. Excellent in these areas.

Remember Michael Jordan the basketball player who once said every one of us has talents, but ability takes hard work.

That's what's important. You can struggle for your the job for which you were issued in then find yourself in the perfect field and me more progress in just a couple of years and you had made all these years at the job really succeeding is finding about you really love to do and then find a may find a way to make a good living doing this when you make a living out of your love you feel like you've never walked a single day and that is what most

In a city, you are seminars whatever you've treated requires so much hard work and effort.

This has never worked a single day in my life. What they did was to find out what they really enjoyed and then they did more and more of it and made money out of it. It's like no one ever talked about this to my kids.

I speak to them as if you know imagine you have a magic wand in your hand uses Magic Juan technique these beautiful images that it could wave a magic wand and The absolutely excellent and a bit at any particular skill. What would that be if you could wave a magic wand and had any at all with regard to your talents and skills?

What would you wish for your answer to these questions will often be there may be an indication of the new goals that you have to set with regard to the skills and abilities that you need to develop to become the best at what you do. So in a way, the idea is to become lifelong.

Work in progress project is prepared to invest one two or three years to become absolutely excellent in a critical area and be willing to pay any price to make any sacrifice to be the best at what you do and then you see the results go head guys. Try it. I wish you all the best.
