This applies for your life, relationships, career, business, and sports.  

If you do the following consistently for five years, without any expectation in return, I can nearly guarantee that you will see opportunities open for you that few have.  After ten years, you will have opportunities that only one in a hundred people have. After twenty years, your life will be undeniably great.  

• Commit to the job you are in and push your limits to do it better each day. Your competition is yourself.  
• Seek out others who are better at the job than you and learn from them.
• Help others on the team learn the lessons that you have with the intention of helping them be better than you. You will become better by teaching.
• Educate yourself on the broader dynamics of the team you are on, the business, and the broader industry.   
• Be humble about your progress. Remember that you are standing on the backs of giants. None of us matter solely on our own.  
• Build relationships and invest heavily in them. 
• When someone notices and chooses to invest in you by giving you more responsibility, remember what chances they are taking.  Work your tail off to make them successful.
• Make sure you are running for the right reasons. 
• Remember that failure is just momentary and a step toward success.
