In this brief motivational video, Nick Hutchison shares a key insight from Ed Mylett’s book The Power of One More. He explains that successful entrepreneurs share a common habit: they consistently do “one more” – one more cold call, one more push‑up, one more effort – beyond what is expected. Hutchison argues that this incremental extra effort overcomes the paralysis caused by big dreams, and he ties the concept to a “three feet from gold” mindset, suggesting that success is always within close reach if we add that extra step. He credits this principle for positively changing his own life.

You can find your best life by doing one more than the world expects from you. This is one of my favorite takeaways from The Power of One More by Ed Mylett. He interviewed thousands of successful entrepreneurs and he found one common characteristic amongst all of them. They did one more. One more cold call, one more pushup, one more anything related to their success. They always put in that little bit of extra effort. And sometimes we get intimidated because our dreams and our goals are so big, it actually stunts our action. But what if all you needed to do was one more than what you're currently doing. We're always 3 feet from gold, and that mentality has been changing my life.
