I thought the following was a great mind bender shared by a friend of mine from the House of Colorado. What sets you a part in 2012?
2006 Household Income Levels:
|
$150,000 to $199,999
|
|
3.17%
|
|
|
$200,000 to $249,999
|
|
2.37%
|
|
|
$250,000 and above
|
|
1.50%
|
|
Only 1.5% of the entire population makes more than $250k in a year (the 2012 # is a little lower) (and fewer than that are solo earners versus “household”, which could include a spouse, for example)
I wonder what they are doing today to create value and achieve that? I wonder how they are approaching THEIR day to be that distinctive; to achieve at a higher level than 98.5% of their fellows?
These stats are often presented under the label “income inequality”.
I’ll just say it: That’s dumb; it reflects the loser’s view of the world. “Income Achievement” would be a far better, and far more accurate, way of thinking about it.
What will we do today that’s different; that justifies and earns a higher level of achievement? Will we train with passion? Will we show up on time? Will we nourish our mind and body? Will we hold our teams and ourselves accountable? Will we do all the above to create an extraordinary level of value in what we deliver to ourselves, our teams, our patients and the community around us?
One thing is for sure: Either you will, or you won’t.
I ask you to say I Will; to believe in yourself, expect the most, and work with passion, discipline and determination each day to make it happen.
It starts now.
