The .01% Club

Membership Requirements: Be among the very best performers in your type of role AND continually work to learn more and improve your performance.

Perform Extraordinarily Well and Keep On Improving

Seems to me about 1 in every 10,000 people in any type of role do both. They are exceptionally good performers AND they are committed to always learning more and improving their performance. I would put Clint Eastwood in that category. As an actor and director, he has been making films for more than 50 years. He has emerged as one of the best actors and directors of multiple generations. And yet he continues to strive to learn more.

In the December 6, 2009 issue of PARADE Magazine, Eastwood, who is 79, was quoted as saying, "The reason I still work at this stage of my life is because I enjoy learning something new every day. When you accept that it's a constant learning process, it's fun."

Is being in The .01% Club something you aspire for? If so, how can you improve your current performance level? How can you learn ways to improve your future performance level?
