The Extra Mile Is Never Crowded

This principle advocates for putting in significantly more effort than what is required or expected. The core idea is that very few people are willing to do this, so by making the extra effort, you immediately stand out from the crowd. It's about distinguishing yourself from being "average" and becoming "extraordinary."

• Key Learning Point: The path to exceptional success is often less competitive because most people settle for doing just enough. Willingness to do more than what's necessary is a key differentiator.
• Action Point: Identify areas in your work or personal projects where you can do more than the bare minimum. This could be conducting extra research, making an extra follow-up call, or adding a thoughtful, unexpected touch to a project. Don't wait to be asked; proactively offer more.
