    1. Fierce focus.
     
    2. Finely honed skills.
     
    3. Fanatical commitment

  • 12 ways to become extraordinary:

     
     
    1. Invest inordinate amounts of time and energy into self-development.
     
    2. Endure ridicule from the mediocre. “I can’t believe you put that much time into your presentation.” “Why don’t you just relax?”
     
    3. Despise mediocrity.
     
    4. Enjoy constructive criticism, instruction, and practice.

    6. Understand that falling short is normal when you’re reaching higher.
     
    7. Deal quickly and aggressively with failure. Extraordinary leaders investigate their failures with a fine tooth comb.
     
    8. Look for opportunity, not excuses.
     
    9. Get uncomfortable when you feel comfortable.
     
    10. Pressure yourself.
     
    11. Become fanatical about details.
     
    12. Fear failure.
