You don’t rise to the opportunity - you fall to the level of your preparation.
Winners don’t wing it. Average does.
Winners train like they’re about to perform at the highest level. Average just goes through the motions.
Winners put in the work when no one’s watching. Average waits for an audience to act like they’re grinding.
Championship preparation means running your client presentation 10 times alone until every word, every movement, and every objection is second nature.
Average preparation? Skimming the notes once and hoping, Eh, I’ll be fine.
Championship preparation is running bleachers in the off-season like the boogeyman is chasing you.
Average preparation? Taking it easy because gameday is “months away.”
Or worse—waiting until gameday is in sight to even start.
Great performances never come from average preparation.
You can’t wing it. You can’t wish for it. And you sure as hell aren’t the exception to the rule.
Want to stand out? Out-prepare everyone around you.
- Where are you mailing it in and expecting great results?
- What will you do this week to level up your preparation?
- How can you carve out just 15 minutes every week to sharpen your edge—whether it’s sales scripts, mobility drills, or storytelling for keynotes?
Don’t hope for a great performance. Work for one.
Tomorrow's winners? They’re already putting in the reps.
Now it’s your move.
