Copy the Top 10% to Master Anything
Whenever I want to learn how to do anything. I do these 5 things to be the best at it. 1. I do a ton of it to learn. 2. I analyze the top 10% outcomes. Either the top 10% content creators or sales scripts. It does not matter what the subject matter is. 3. I analyze the difference between the top 10% and the bottom 90%. 4. Figure out the most important details that make the top 10% shine. 5. Avoid the mistakes that the 90% is making that keep them at the bottom and do more of the behaviors that the top 10% outcomes are consistently doing. Think of it this way. Every pilot takes off using the same checklist. No matter how good they get, they have to follow the checklist. The same thing applies to business. If you can figure out every single step that has to happen to achieve your desired outcome and if you follow each step to perfection each time... Then you reproduce winning outcomes at scale.
