The book is about not only doing your best when you start what you are doing but doing what you need to in order to enhance your performance and grow. |

Each of us needs to be so good at what we do that we are demanded back. We need to give a remarkable performance and make ourselves indispensable. One of the ways that we can do this is by practicing SCALES. (Summarize, Critical, Actions and then Learning, Essential, Skills). You need to break down elements and think in terms of activities and skills. This is a plan to help you develop your remarkable performance.
We also must remember the difference between practices and principles. A principle is something you know and a practice is something you do. Principles never change and practices are how you apply a principle to a given situation.
In order to enhance your performance you must aim 2 levels up. If you are only aiming for the next level you are only keeping up, but by aiming for the second level you are improving the quality and impact of your performance. |

A thought on pages 103 & 104 really jumped out at me. "Complacency comes about when we feel that 'acceptable' is good enough. When we're complacent, we tend to coast or get by on past performance. Even when our past performance was remarkable, it doesn't guarantee that our present-day or future performances will be remarkable. What was once our best can easily turn into 'good' or, worse, 'average'. The antidote to complacency is commitment. Commitment is a willingness to continually learn and improve." This thought keeps me humble! |

When I was reading The Encore Effect, I was reminded that Persistence is the way to change and grow, if you don't persevere you won't grow. Also you have to make the choice to live in such a way as to have clients, co-workers, family desire to have more from you (The Encore Effect). |

pg. 100 jumped out at me...."complaining is the act of shirking responsibility for things that go wrong".......the best revenge to a subpar performance (or setback) is to approach the future with a Solution in hand. (maybe a PLAN to follow...??)
