Bestselling author Napoleon Hill explains this is his book Think and Grow Rich as the Principle of Going the Extra Mile. Going the extra mile is the action of rendering more and better service than
that for which you are presently paid. When you go the extra mile, the Law of
Compensation comes into play.
Rendering more and better service than one is expected to
render and doing it with a positive mental attitude.
Keep this formula in mind. QQMA= Quality of Service X Quantity of service X mental attitude. Done consciously and deliberately, this will bring you benefits multiplied many times over.
1 It will bring you to the favourable attention of people who will be willing to help you,
2. The service you render
will bring back greater than average compensation,
3. It will make you
indispensible in your calling,
4. It will challenge you to
do a better job than done previously,
5. It will give you preference when
work is slack and others are laid off,
6. It will help you
benefit by the law of contrast because others will not do the first mile, let alone
the next,
7. It will improve your
personality and make you liked by others,
8. It will give you a keen, alert imagination. greater self reliance and make you move forward,
9. It will inspire you to move
on your own personal initiative than wait for others, a habit of leaders,
10. It helps you
destroy the destructive habit of procrastination,
12. Jt makes others
respect your integrity and inspire them to go out of their way and cooperate
with you,
13. It helps you develop
deliberateness of purpose,
14. It provides you
with the one and only excuse of asking for promotion to a better station in life
and
better pay,
15. And it conditions your
mind to maintain a mastermind alliance with others.
So, from now on, go for the extra mile. And if you complain that you are not receiving enough for going the extra mile, change positions and
market your services where it pays to go the extra mile.
Good luck on your lifejourney to success!
