The Capacity Revolution: Why Some People Consistently Outperform Others
Why do some people consistently outperform others despite similar talents and opportunities? The answer isn't about working harder or being naturally gifted-it's about systematically building capacity. This concept has captivated Fortune 500 CEOs and Olympic athletes alike, transforming how we think about achievement. What started as simple Friday morning emails evolved into a global phenomenon reaching over 100,000 readers in fifty countries, including business titans like Richard Branson. The appeal lies in its refreshingly practical approach: no academic theories, just actionable wisdom. In our achievement-obsessed culture, this framework stands out by focusing not on doing more, but on doing more of the right things. When you understand your capacity, you understand your potential-and that changes everything.
