About this book
Average is not a talent problem. It is a standard problem. Almost nobody smiles first, answers fast, arrives early, finishes strong, or asks for what they are worth, which means every one of those is still sitting there unclaimed. This is a menu, not a schedule. Forty eight small challenges across six areas: how you show up, what you carry, how you live, how you work, how hard you go, and what you earn. Pick the one you need this week and run it. Pick another next week. Stack enough of them and you are not doing above average things any more, you are an above average person, and the income follows the person.

- 01
The Above Average Smile
How people experience you in the first five seconds. Most people wait to be greeted, wait to be smiled at, and look at their phone while you talk. Every one of those is a door standing open.

The Above Average Attitude
What you carry into a room before anything has happened. Attitude is not a mood you are handed in the morning. It is a set of decisions you can practice, and most people never practice it once.

The Above Average Standard
How you keep your body, your home, your time and your money when nobody is checking. The standard you hold in private is the one that shows up in public, every time, whether you meant it to or not.

The Above Average Effort
The extra inch, the fast reply, the finished job. The difference between good and great is almost never enormous, and almost always deliberate.

The Above Average Intensity
The will to win. Not noise, not hype: the decision to go one round further than you feel like going, on an ordinary day, when nobody is watching and nothing is on the line.

The Above Average Income
Money follows the person. You do not get an above average income by wanting one, you get it by becoming somebody worth it and then having the nerve to ask. This level is both halves.
