- 3. 212 DEGREES THE CONTINUAL APPLICATION OF HEAT (EFFORT) TO WHATEVER TASK OR ACTIVITY YOU UNDERTAKE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE NOT ONLY THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE YOU SEEK, BUT TO REAP THE EXPONENTIAL REWARDS THAT ARE POSSIBLE BY APPLYING ONE EXTRA DEGREE OF EFFORT. 3
- 4. MAN IS MADE SO THAT WHENEVER ANYTHING FIRES HIS SOUL, IMPOSSIBILITIES VANISH. ~ Jean La Fontaine 4
- 5. ▪ BEFORE ANYTHING CAN EVER BE ACCOMPLISHED, ONE MUST FIRST KNOW THAT HE/SHE CAN DO IT. “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right.” ~Henry Ford 5
- 6. IN MANY CASES, PEOPLE WILL WORK HARDER TO AVOID THE EXTRA EFFORT THAN ACTUALLY APPLYING THE EXTRA EFFORT THAT WILL PRODUCE THE DESIRED OUTCOME. ACTION IS THE MISSING INGREDIENT. 6
- 7. NOW YOU ARE AWARE OF 212 – THE EXTRA DEGREE. NO LONGER WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DO ONLY WHAT IS REQUIRED AND EXPECTED OF YOU. WITH AWARENESS COMES RESPONSIBILITY. YOU NOW HAVE A TARGET FOR EVERYTHING. “FLAMING ENTHUSIASM, BACKED BY HORSE SENSE AND PERSISTENCE, IS THE QUALITY THAT MOST FREQUENTLY MAKES FOR SUCCESS.” ~DALE CARNEGIE 7
- 8. There are four major golf tournaments each year. Average margin of victory from 1986-2010 was just over two strokes. Less than one stroke per day. The winner took home an average of 78% more than second place. 8
- 9. THERE ARE 3 MAJOR HORSE RACES. EACH RACE LASTS LESS THAN 3 MINUTES. AVERAGE MARGIN OF VICTORY FOR ALL 3 RACES FROM 2006-2010 WAS 3 LENGTHS. 5 OF THE 15 (33%) WERE WON BY 1 LENGTH OR LESS. Average payout to the winner of all races combined was 330% more than 2nd place. 9
- 10. DURING THE 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS, THE MARGIN OF VICTORY BETWEEN A GOLD MEDAL AND NO MEDAL WAS… MEN’S GIANT SLALOM 0.62 SECONDS WOMEN’S GIANT SLALOM 0.15 SECONDS MEN’S BOBSLED 0.87 SECONDS WOMEN’S BOBSLED 1.13 SECONDS MEN’S 100 METER SPEEDSKATING 0.39 SECONDS WOMEN’S 100 METER SPEEDSKATING 0.17 SECONDS 10
- 11. The Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500. 1996 – 2010 combining all 30 races. The winner took the checkered flag by an average margin of less than a second (0.84). The winner took home an average of $1.5 million. 2nd place $795k. About half! 11
- 12. At work… Make one extra contact each day, a sales call, a customer, a discussion with a colleague, a word of encouragement to a team member. At the end of the year, you will have opened more than 200 additional doors of possibility. 12
- 13. As a manager… Your role is to encourage and develop others to succeed by doing the right tasks at the right time. Every day, every week, every month. Acknowledge and apologize for one or more of your mistakes each week to create 50 more opportunities for trust and authenticity each year. Thank someone once more each day and show appreciation over 200 more times each year. 13
- 14. Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier and add 10 minutes to your life each day, an hour a week, 4 hours a month, 2 days per year. Someone struggles-you help. A door needs opening-open it. A piece of trash on the ground-pick it up. A child needs attention-give it. A job needs doing-do it! 14
- 15. Stop complaining. About the weather, the traffic, your boss, a customer. Complaining once less each day removes 365 seeds of negativity each year. No excuses! We find the time and resources to do the things that really matter to us. 15
- 16. Prune the diversions. You have goals. You have time. You have energy. Removing 2 diversions each week eliminates more than 100 distractions each year that keep you from reaching your goals. “Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” ~Sir Winston Churchill 16
- 17. “Catch fire with enthusiasm and they will come from miles to watch you burn.” ~ John Wesley 17

Editor's Notes
- Here at Best Buy Metals, we all work hard. But if we are truly honest with ourselves, even in the busiest days, there are still moments of inactivity, unproductiveness, and idleness. What would happen if we harnessed those moments and used them to do something good, productive, and positive?
- Every day is a race. If we are alive, we are all running in it. Our goal is not to merely survive the race and finish the day. Our goal is to run in such a way as to win the prize!
- Motivation is the great equalizer. It is what urges men to do what is beyond their normal capacities. It is what drives them to relentlessly pursue their goal and never give up despite obstacles they may encounter. It is what makes ordinary men, extraordinary. It is the single differentiator between defeated and defiant, hopeless and hero.
- Not think, not hope. KNOW!
- Action = Traction Activity creates opportunity
- Any good teammate does the minimum required. Champions are always asking, “What else?” With awareness comes responsibility to act. We have all now been made aware. We must act.
- Let’s look at a few examples of the miniscule margin between first and second place in the world of sports. However, pay special attention to the difference in reward for each. The Masters, U.S. Open, The British Open, and the PGA.
- The KY Derby, The Belmont, and the Preakness
- Now, let’s look at the application to what we do every day.
- Consistency is the key! Remember the definition. The continual application of heat…. It can be something we just do every once in a while. It has to become who we are.
- Do this once per week and add 52 acts of kindness and inspiration each year. And oh, by the way, people will notice.
- There are two types of people. Those who make excuses for why we can’t do it or those who do whatever it takes to make it happen.
- Pull the hurdles off the track. Remove the obstacles to success. Decide what really matters to you.
- Love what you do or don’t do it! Be passionate about it! Most of all, have fun doing it!
