What the Top 10% Do That the Other 90% Don’t with Susan Guthrie on the Practice Playbook Podcast #560
Episode 561
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
Seven habits. That is what separates the top 10% of practitioners from everyone else. Not talent, not experience, not working harder. Seven specific, actionable habits that most professionals either overlook or avoid entirely. This week, every single one gets unpacked so you can begin implementing them into your practice today. Most professionals believe success comes from doing more. More marketing, more networking, more credentials, more training. But after working with hundreds of professionals and colleagues building their practices, the truth is clear: volume is not what creates a thriving practice. What does? Intention. Top performers make decisions with purpose, take action consistently, and build their practices strategically instead of reactively. This episode walks through all seven habits so you can identify exactly where you are operating like the 90% and where you can start operating like the top 10%, instead. What You’ll Learn: Why top performers are not working harder than everyone else and what they are actually doing differently. How to use data from your last five clients to stop reacting and start building your practice with intention. What ruthless clarity around who you serve does for your referrals and how one sentence can change everything. How to build visibility as a habit instead of an event so you stay top of mind without burning out. What happens to most opportunities after the first conversation and the simple habit of followup keeps them alive. Get the FREE Resource: A free scorecard was created to go along with this episode. The Top 10% Practice Assessment walks through each of the seven habits and helps you identify exactly where your gaps are and where to focus next. Awareness is the first step, but action is what creates change. Get the Resource here: https://practiceplaybook.pro/practice-assessment Meet Our Creator and Host: Susan Guthrie Susan E.
