In any field, most of the rewards go to the top 5% of people.

Sure, there are always superstars, and to become one takes talent, work and a bit of luck.

But with diligent consistent work any of us can get into the top 5%.

In the top 5% we have more options… we can pick the good clients, we can charge more, we can exert more control on how we live and work.

It’s about our focus and our choices.

To be in the top 5% of orthopaedic surgeons is one thing. To be in the top 5% of lower limb orthopaedic surgeons in the South Island of New Zealand is another thing altogether. This is where we focus.

Then we have choice to step up, to do the work, consistently, to get to that top 5%.

We can all be in the top 5% if we’re prepared to pay the price.
