Ask any professional coach and they will tell you that the difference between a minor league player and a big league player leaguer is only about 5%.  It is t-h-a-t close.

A friend of mine recently went through a week long executive coaching event, helping him add to his already impressive leadership skillset.  He was reminded there that most of us already have the skills necessary to win or do better or enhance our skills…it is just a matter of fine tuning, tweaking that extra 5% so that we get to the big (ger) leagues.

Each of us has the ability to find that extra 5%.  Keep in mind, this 5% rule does not apply if you are in T-ball…the differences between a T-Ball player and Tori Hunter are waaaaaay more than 5%.

I am talking about the differences between individuals already with the requisite skills or similar jobs.

I am just saying—you are closer than you think.
