So you gave 110% ... now what?

You have a difficult task or project in front of you and you had to give 110% to get it done and not let any of your other responsibilities slip through the cracks.  And you know what you did it, but now what?


Theoretically you can't ever give more than 100% of what you are capable of.  But you've just proven to yourself and the world around you that you can do more than you thought you could ... or at least more than what you usually do!


Let's say you give 110% again for a few days/weeks ... that becomes your new norm!  Your 110% now becomes your 100%! You've proven you can do it and even worse ... now people are expecting it from you!


Keep it up and after a few years of always giving a 110% and creating new levels of 100% (a.k.a. what you are capable of) and you are producing 200% or 300% ... or 500% of what you use to produce!


BE CAREFUL!  The converse is true too.  If you usually give 100%, but you decide that you are going to ease up a bit and only give 90% for a few days then that becomes your new 100%.  Do this for a few years and you never have to worry about anyone expecting anything from you but your ability to breathe and eat.  Surely you don't want people thinking that you are only capable of breathing and eating ... do you?


Start giving 110% today.  Start growing, start improving, start impressing others.  You will be amazed at what you can achieve!


Have a great day!
