I am a firm believer in this principle. If you want to succeed in anything you have to give more and do more than what is expected or for what you’re being paid to do… providing you like what it is that you’re doing.

In the book The Law of Success, I found that Napoleon went on the assumption that you are in a job that you like, so going the extra mile and rendering more service would be beneficial to your success at that company.

Most people unfortunately do not like their job and going the extra mile is just not worthwhile unless their goals are to get a better position within the company.

I found personally that I couldn’t relate to going the extra mile at my job because I had no interest in moving up in the company. It wasn’t until I discovered Internet Marketing and joined the military that I found it easy to go above and beyond what people expect of me.

Now I really enjoy helping others and have no expectation of anything in return. It gives me great joy in helping people accomplish their goals (no matter how big or small they are).
