There are two simple truths I fundamentally believe (and I think you do too):
If you do the right thing every day, you will eventually end up in the right place.
You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
Here are two things that are true about you.
You have great potential, and you know it.
You genuinely believe that if you worked a little harder and got the right support, you could do exponentially better.
If these sound like you, continue reading…………………..
One of the highlights of my year was visiting the Kigali Genocide memorial in Rwanda. I had heard so much about it and as such, made out time to go there during my stay in Rwanda earlier this year. It was not an exciting experience. It was not a happy one. It was a highlight because it caused me to gain perspective - to measure up my “misery" against another’s.
I had the opportunity to reflect as I walked past mass graves with hundreds of thousands of corpses “resting“ in them. I watched gruesome images of men, women, and children who were pulled from their homes and slaughtered in cold blood.
What I am saying is this: other people have had it much worse.
If you’re reading this email at this moment, you are genuinely doing better than most people, and you cannot take that for granted. You need to maximize the opportunity you have now!
See, you feel that you could do better because you actually could. This is useful information that you need to act upon.
One tradition I adopted last year is to create a mentorship program at the end of each year. I want to transfer the knowledge, skills, and experience I have accrued over the year to other young people who may not have had the opportunity to do so firsthand.
I recently launched the biggest one so far - the One Percenter’s Community. We have one mission - to aggressively charge toward the achievement of members’ individual and professional goals for a period of 5 months. It’s intense, yes, but it is also necessary.

The One Percenters Community is a small closely knit group of visionaries intentional about making their Quantum Leap. Shortly after its launch, all available spots were filled.
However, upon request, I am opening 3 additional spots exclusively for the readers of my newsletter.
Get perspective: You are one of the 1,100+ people reading this email. I will only read the first 3 replies.
Let me remind you of the two fundamental truths I mentioned earlier.
If you do the right thing every day, you will eventually end up in the right place.
You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
I've seen firsthand what a difference it can make when someone has the right support to achieve their goals. In my mentorship program, I'll work with you one-on-one to help you identify your goals, develop a plan, and stay accountable. I'll also connect you with other members of the community who can offer support and guidance.
I know you're capable of great things. I believe in you. So what are you waiting for? Take action today and make your quantum leap.
