Above Average: The Secret to Extraordinary Success

Dear Champions,

Jim Rohn once asked a powerful question: How do you develop an above-average income? His answer was simple yet profound: You must first become an above-average person. That idea struck me the first time I heard it, and every time I listen to it, it awakens something deep inside me. Because the truth is clear—success is not a matter of luck, it is a matter of growth. To achieve what others cannot, you must do what others will not.

As I reflect on our journey here at OQATA, I want us to ask ourselves a question. Out of the thousands of IBOs who have joined us, who will rise to become the number one distributor? Who will stand tall when we celebrate ten years of OQATA worldwide? Who will be remembered as the maverick, the example, the talk of the town? The answer is not hidden. It will be the one who chooses to rise above average.

The Trap of Average

Average is a comfortable place. It is safe. It is where most people live. But average never creates greatness. Average never builds empires. Average never leaves a legacy. The danger of average is that it gives the illusion of effort while robbing you of excellence.

If you do what everyone else is doing, you cannot expect to stand out. If every distributor makes five invitations a day and you also make five, how can you expect to outrun them? If every person sells ten products a month and you also sell ten, how can you expect to shine? If everyone only attends the general training sessions and you also limit yourself to that, how can you grow beyond the rest? Average effort only produces average results.

The Power of the Extra Mile

Greatness is found in the extra mile. The extra phone call, the extra invitation, the extra presentation, the extra book you read, the extra hour you invest in training—these are the small differences that create massive separation over time. Success does not demand that you leap miles ahead of others all at once; it requires that you consistently take one more step than the crowd.

Think about school days. The students who topped the class were rarely the ones who were naturally gifted alone. They were the ones who stayed an extra hour revising, who asked one more question in class, who practiced one more problem while the rest of the class relaxed. That extra effort multiplied over time and produced extraordinary results. The same law applies in business and in life.

Becoming an Above-Average Distributor

For us in network marketing, becoming above average means choosing a higher standard in everything we do. If the ordinary distributor invites five prospects, the above-average distributor invites ten. If the ordinary distributor attends the training, the above-average distributor not only attends but also studies additional materials and reads new books. If the ordinary distributor leaves office at a certain time, the above-average one stays longer to close one more deal or make one more call.

Above-average distributors dress sharper, speak with more conviction, prepare more thoroughly, and carry themselves with higher energy. They do not blend in with the bandwagon; they set themselves apart as leaders in thought, discipline, and vision.

Ordinary Effort vs Extraordinary Effort

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little word—extra. Extraordinary people are simply ordinary people who added something more. In every profession, whether you are a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, or an entrepreneur, the ones who are remembered are those who went beyond the minimum requirements. They refused to settle for mediocrity. They refused to be like everyone else.

In OQATA, the ones who will be remembered are not those who simply signed up and did what the system required. It will be those who burned the midnight oil to sharpen their skills, who spoke with confidence even when they were broke, who dressed like millionaires even when they had only one good suit, who refused to let excuses determine their destiny. These are the ones who will shine at our ten-year anniversary as legends of this company.

Hating Average, Embracing Excellence

Champions, we must develop a healthy hatred for anything called average. Average is where dreams go to die. Average is where excuses thrive. Average is where potential is buried. From today, decide to reject the bandwagon. Refuse to think like the crowd. Refuse to do just enough to get by. Let the ordinary be for others—your destiny is extraordinary.

To be extraordinary, you must embrace the extra mile in your daily life. Wake up earlier. Stay longer. Work harder. Learn faster. Speak bolder. Dress better. Lead stronger. That is how you develop above-average skills and above-average results. Winning is always hidden in the extra mile.

Final Call to Action

So, dear champions, let us rise above the ordinary. Refuse to be comfortable with mediocrity. Refuse to follow the crowd. Refuse to do only what is expected. Decide today that you will go the extra mile in everything you do.

You do not need to win with giant leaps. You only need to consistently take one step more than the rest. Over time, that one step becomes a marathon gap. That one decision becomes a lifetime of difference. That one choice to be above average becomes the foundation of an extraordinary future.

The world will not remember the average. It will remember those who stood out, those who went beyond, those who hated mediocrity and embraced excellence. Let us be those people. Let us be the Titans of OQATA. Let us rise above average.

The Never Break Twice Rule: The Power of One Slip – and the Danger of Two

In life and in business, no one is perfect. Even the greatest Titans stumble. They skip a workout, miss a presentation, delay a call, or forget to keep a promise they made to themselves. The difference between ordinary people and Titans is not that Titans never fail—it’s that they never let failure repeat itself.

The “Never Break Twice Rule” is a discipline principle. It says: if you miss a core activity today, you cannot miss it tomorrow. If you break a promise to yourself once, you must bounce back immediately. One break is human, but two breaks in a row is a seed of indiscipline that grows into a habit.

In network marketing, habits are the invisible ropes that either pull us toward greatness or quietly tie us to mediocrity. When you live by the Never Break Twice Rule, you are choosing consistency over perfection. You are building streaks that lead to success.

Why Titans Bounce Back Quickly

There’s a book I once read that made this principle so clear: Titans are not machines, but they never break their promises twice. They do not allow indiscipline to stretch beyond one day. That doesn’t mean they don’t backslide—it means their recovery is fast.

  • Ordinary people slip once, then again, and then again, until it becomes a lifestyle.
  • Titans slip once, but they refuse to repeat it the next day. They repair the chain before it breaks entirely.
  • Think of it like climbing a mountain. If you trip on a rock and fall, you stand up immediately and keep climbing. If you sit down and say, “I’ll rest here for two days,” you may never reach the peak. Momentum is the Titan’s secret. Losing it for one day is survivable. Losing it for two or more days is deadly.

Applying the Rule in Network Marketing

Network marketing is a game of rhythm. Your results are tied directly to the daily core activities you perform: inviting, prospecting, presenting, following up, closing, and training. The moment you let indiscipline creep in, your rhythm breaks—and broken rhythm costs you momentum, income, and eventually your dream.

Here’s how the Never Break Twice Rule works for us:

  • • Inviting: If you didn’t invite anyone today, tomorrow you must invite. Don’t allow two days of silence.
  • Prospecting: If you failed to prospect today, make sure tomorrow you prospect, even if it’s just one quality name.
  • Presenting: If you skipped a presentation today, tomorrow you must share the business, no excuses.
  • Customers: If you didn’t talk to a customer today, then tomorrow it is mandatory that you reach out.
  • Personal Growth: If you didn’t read or listen to your personal development book today, make sure tomorrow you do.
  • Fitness & Energy: If you promised yourself the gym and didn’t go today, tomorrow you must step inside that gym.
  • It’s not about perfection. It’s about never letting your breaks pile up. Consistency compounds; so does inconsistency.

Why Two Days is Dangerous

Missing two days in a row creates a crack in your belief system. It teaches your brain that breaking promises is acceptable. One day of weakness can be forgiven. Two days of weakness becomes an identity.

  • The first day you miss, you feel uncomfortable.
  • The second day you miss, you feel justified.
  • The third day you miss, you feel normal.
  • At that point, your fire goes cold. Your momentum is lost. And as every network marketer knows, momentum is everything. Without it, you are starting from zero again.

    Titans Maintain Streaks, Not Perfection

    Success is not about never failing—it is about never failing twice in a row. Titans understand that progress is built in streaks. They maintain those streaks like lifelines. When the streak is broken, they don’t cry. They don’t complain. They don’t beat themselves up. They simply start again—immediately.

    In network marketing, this mindset is golden. It keeps your pipeline full. It keeps your skills sharp. It keeps your belief alive.

    Imagine if every single distributor in our team committed to never breaking twice. Imagine if every IBO refused to go two days without inviting, presenting, or following up. The entire organization would explode with growth. That’s what Titans do—they carry the team with their streaks.

    A Call to the Team: Become Titans

    Champions, this is your challenge:

    • Never allow yourself two days without your core activities.
    • Never allow yourself to break your promises twice.
    • Never allow indiscipline to creep into your identity.

    So, from today, engrave this into your heart: I will never break twice. I will not allow indiscipline two days in a row. I am a Titan. I maintain streaks, not perfection.

    That’s the principle that separates the weak from the strong, the quitters from the finishers, and the ordinary from the extraordinary.

    Dear Champion, make this your personal law. The Never Break Twice Rule is not just advice—it is a lifestyle. Hold it tight, and you will watch your business, your discipline, and your life transform into something legendary.

Where Will You Be in Five Years? The Power of a Designed Destination

Dear Champions,

Here is a serious question for every serious Champion:If you keep up your present disciplines and maintain your present pace, where will you be in five years?

At first, it is easy to laugh this question off, to say, “Well, I haven’t really thought about that.” But that is exactly the point. Five years will come, whether you think about it or not. Five years will pass, whether you prepare for them or not. Five years from now, you will arrive somewhere. The only question is: will you arrive at a well-designed destination, or will you stumble into an undesired destination?

This question, originally posed by Jim Rohn, is one that has guided countless leaders into greatness. Today, I want us to reflect on it deeply as we chart our course in network marketing.

The Unstoppable March of Time

Time does not wait. It moves whether you move or not. You cannot pause it, slow it down, or ask for a replay. Five years from now, you will have grown older. You will either be celebrating the results of discipline, or regretting the results of neglect.

This is the sobering truth: you cannot escape five years. But you can design them. You can shape them. You can decide today what story you will be telling in five years.

Designed Destinations vs. Undesigned Destinations

If you design your future, five years from now you may be living in your dream home, driving the cars you once admired from afar, traveling across nations, leading a massive organization, and enjoying financial independence. A designed destination is not accidental—it is planned, pursued, and paid for by your current disciplines.

But if you do not design your future, you will still arrive somewhere. Perhaps still broke, still struggling, still repeating excuses, still explaining why things did not work out. An undesigned destination is the default result of neglect. It is the future that happens to you instead of the future you create.

The principle is simple: design or drift. Those are the only two paths.

Five Years: Both Long and Short

Five years is both a long time and a short time. It is long enough to completely change your life. In five years, you can go from being unknown to becoming a global leader. You can build a team that spans across countries. You can create an income stream that breaks generational curses of poverty.

But five years is also short enough to waste. If you do nothing, it will feel like the blink of an eye. Five years can pass while you are still telling the same stories, still living in the same house, still fighting the same battles. The difference is what you choose to do right now.

The Network Marketing Advantage

Network marketing is one of the rare professions where five years can transform everything. In five years of consistent discipline, you can become unrecognizable. You can drive the Range Rovers, live in the dream houses, and enjoy the financial freedom others only imagine.

But in network marketing, five years can also be wasted if you refuse to act. If you keep treating it casually, if you break your promises twice, if you hide behind excuses, then five years later, nothing will have changed. The same rent issues, the same lack of money, the same frustrations will be your story.

The difference is discipline. The difference is pace. The difference is whether you design your future or allow it to drift.

The Power of Present Disciplines

Your future is not built tomorrow—it is built today. What you are doing right now is creating your destiny. Your daily habits are either compounding into greatness or compounding into regret.

If you are prospecting daily, presenting daily, following up daily, growing daily, reading daily, and training daily, then five years from now your life will reflect it. But if you are skipping disciplines, if you are casual with your goals, if you are breaking promises to yourself repeatedly, then five years from now, you will face the harvest of that neglect.

The seed you plant today is the harvest you eat tomorrow.

My Personal Reflection

When I reflect on my own journey, I realize that everything I enjoy today is the harvest of disciplines I practiced years ago. I was broke when I started. I had every excuse to quit. But I chose to discipline myself. I read books. I listened to audios. I practiced presentations. I invited people until my voice grew strong.

Five years later, I was not the same person. The disciplines had changed me. The pace had transformed me. What I sowed daily became a harvest of success. That is why I can tell you with certainty: if you keep your current pace, your five years will tell the story of who you really are.

Designing Your Next Five Years

So how do we design the next five years instead of drifting?

First, decide what you want. Write it down clearly. Do you want to be a top distributor? Do you want financial freedom? Do you want to be recognized on stage as a legend of OQATA? Decide.

Second, break it into disciplines. If the goal is clear, the daily actions must match it. If you want to be above average, you must do above average work. If you want extraordinary results, you must go the extra mile.

Third, lock in the pace. Do not let inconsistency rob you of momentum. Five years is shaped by today’s rhythm, not by tomorrow’s wish.

Finally, refuse excuses. Problems will come, but the No Matter What Mentality we spoke of in Script 28 must guide you.

Final Word

The next five years are in your hands. You cannot control time, but you can control your actions. You cannot stop the years from passing, but you can decide where those years will take you.

If you keep your present disciplines and your present pace, you already know where you will arrive. If you want a different result, now is the time to change.

Design your life. Commit to your disciplines. Set your pace. And when we meet five years from now, let us meet as champions celebrating a designed destiny, not as dreamers regretting an undesigned one.
