This Is What Top Performers Do Differently

About this video

The speaker explains the idea of ’never miss twice’ as an attitude for recovering quickly from a lapse. Using examples such as breaking a new diet with a binge or missing a scheduled article, he argues that top performers make mistakes like everyone else but get back on track quickly. A single miss becomes a small blip when the habit is reclaimed fast, he says, whereas letting one slip turn into months of not doing it is the real problem.

• The speaker presents ’never miss twice’ as a rule for course-correcting quickly after a lapse.
