In just about any endeavor the difference between average and excellent is the willingness to do just one more thing — even if it’s a little thing. Top sales executives are those who make just one more call at the end of the day. Winning City Council candidates are the ones that knock on just one more door. Winning basketball teams make one more pass to find the open shooter.
