Go where the crowd would not.

GO THE EXTRA MILE

Going the extra mile is a mindset that separates average performers from high achievers. It is the willingness to put in extra effort and go above and beyond what is expected. Going the extra mile is more than just doing what is required; it is about doing it with excellence and making a lasting impact; it is about being proactive and taking initiative; it is about looking for opportunities to make a difference and taking action to create positive change. Going the extra mile sometimes requires stepping out of your comfort zone and pushing yourself to do more than what you think you are capable of.

Going the extra mile also involves paying attention to the small details that often go unnoticed and taking the time to ensure everything is done to the best of your ability. It means taking pride in your work and striving for excellence in everything you do. When you go the extra mile, your chances of success is increased and you are exposed to more opportunities. When you consistently deliver exceptional work and exceed expectations, you build a reputation for excellence. This can lead to unimaginable growth and unexpected recognition for your efforts.

When you go above and beyond to perform exceptionally at what you do, you inspire and motivate others to do the same. You somehow creates a positive ripple effect and contributes to a culture of excellence and success. However, going the extra mile is not always easy. It requires hard work, dedication, and perseverance. It means prioritizing your goals and making sacrifices to achieve them. It also involves taking calculated risks and being willing to learn from your failures.

The extra mile is always scanty. Everyone else is on the regular mile, you are not expected to go past the regular mile, but the extra mile is where greatness is achieved. While it may not be easy, the rewards of going the extra mile are well worth the effort. So, try to go the extra mile.
