Performance, in the classic sense, is a game of comparison - you identify people or metrics to match up against, set goals based on the matchups, and work your hardest to hit those goals. You’re already familiar with the rules of the performance game, because they are literally everywhere we turn: run faster, work longer, push harder, repeat until you win. Most high performers have mastered the rules of the performance game - a/k/a The Grind, The Hustle, The Game, etc. - and excel at it.

The truly elite performers in every discipline play a completely different game. In this game, you're only competing with yourself; the process of growth matters more than the outcomes (spoiler alert: outcomes still happen, and they are way more exciting); and instead of 'try harder,' the motto is 'free yourself' - in other words, clear away obstacles and self-imposed limits for who you can be, and what you can do.

You have the potential to open the doorway to opportunities for living life at a level that you never knew was possible.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not.
