In the last secret, we talked about thinking different. With that new thought process in place, let's put it in into effect. So often, when our life levels off, we go back to the basics and do what we think we do best. We experience so-so gains because we rely on reasonable approaches we’ve had some success with before. As you grow in experience and success, you can now extend your arsenal with what's new. In fact, experiencing quantum leaps requires an abrupt change in behavior.

If you only do what you've always done, you’ll get the same results you've always gotten! The areas you are historically best at can become your biggest obstacles to future success. They may stand as personal boundary lines that limit your success. Ignore the usual. Try being completely illogical. Break out of the rut of the familiar and resolve to use a fresh perspective. Set a new pattern! Remember that a quantum leap will only happen with a radical departure from some of your best habits. The secret is that best practices can only guide you to a set level of success; big jumps require a shift in actions.
