Aspire

Performance is never an accident: it is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution: it represents the wise choices of many alternatives.

Aspiring to average performance inspires no one. Average is... well average. To aspire to achieve more it's essential to first know how much more is. The alternative is to become complacent with the status quo. If you want to jump high its aways good to have a high bar to aim for. How high is your bar?

Research has demonstrated that over 90% of professionals believe that they perform in the top 10% of their peers. The truth is that 50% are below average and another 40% don't make the top 10%. Statistical reality guarantees that 90% of professionals are not in the top 10%. So why do so many people persistently allow themselves to be fooled by themselves?

How is your Practice performing? Have you compared it recently to other Practice? Do you know where opportunities for better performance and better reward are in your Practice? Do you know what 90th percentile performance looks like in all of the performance dimensions of your Practice? How much reward are you leaving on the table day after day, year after year? Is your bar set too low? Are you fooling yourself? Are you professionally curious enough to ask?

Comparative performance data for your Practice is just a phone call away. Make wise choices. Performance Matters!
