I Just Want to Be Average — New Home Sales Training
We all hear about the “average American”. What does that person look like these days? The average American household takes in about $50,000 in annual income. The average family size is 3.2 people. If you’re average, there’s a slightly greater chance that you are a woman instead of a man. How are you faring on the “average” meter so far?
“C” means average. Does a “C” average get you into a good college?
A 40-hour workweek is average, with a one-hour lunch. Will this time commitment give you an edge over your co-workers when it comes time for a raise and promotion?
Average, for me, is another way of quitting. Being average means you don’t reach for greater heights, achievements, and rewards. You’re satisfied with being satisfied, but not glorious.
You’re average if you’re not a standout. That also makes you replaceable. You’ve got to be willing to do more, to excel in whatever you do, in order to rise above the average. Place yourself among the best and recognize that “good enough” never is.
I find it fascinating that the only people who worry about mediocrity are the ones who rise far above that level. Maybe the view is just clearer from up here.
