Jim Kwik uses the 212-degree water-to-steam example to show how one extra degree transforms everything. A tiny increase in effort, discipline, or practice can power a locomotive. What one percent more could unlock in your own performance.
There's a book called 212: The Extra Degree, and the concept is at 211 degrees, water is very hot, but at 212 degrees, it boils. And with that boiling comes steam, a totally different form of water. And that steam can be used to power things like a train, like an incredible locomotive. And that's the power of steam. By adding 1 degree, you have this incredible power to power this incredible machine. And you are a machine. Your business is a machine. Your brain is a machine. What if you added one extra degree of effort, of discipline, of practice, and notice all the different rewards that come from that?
