Stop lying to yourself.  80% of success is NOT just showing up

Ever hear anyone say, or have you said, 80% of success is just showing up?

First of all some supposed “expert” made a version of this statement many years ago, and that statement was taken out of context.  Second, because it was taken out of context it’s lost all meaning.  Most importantly though, what a load of crap!

80% of success is not just showing up.  Just showing up is only 10%.  The other 90% is working you ass off.  Anybody can just show up, but not just anybody can show up and win.  

Yes you need to show up to play the game, to win, to fight, etc.  Showing up gets you 10% of the way there.  The other 90% is the real magic.  It’s commonly disguised as “work”!

100% of success can be in showing up if, and only if, you adhere to the following:
  • You must show up before everyone else  
  • You must show up prepared to kick ass  
  • You must show up willing to do what others won’t
  • You must outwork the competition
  • You must go home after everyone else quit
  • You must continuously improve while others are sleeping or playing
  • You must stop looking at weekends as time off, and start looking at them as opportunities
  • You must never give up

Most, not all of course, people who make these silly type statements that 80% of success is just showing up have never achieved anything - nor will they ever.  That’s because they’re living and believing falsehoods.  The only percentage you need to live by is the 100% rule, i.e., commit 100% and go all in.
