What separates the 90th percentile from the rest? In this episode, Andrew Reed explores what it truly means to be an Outlier — not by personality, pedigree, or raw talent, but by the consistent application of what MVI calls the “Best-Known Success Patterns.” These are not theories or trends, but proven behaviors and structures observed in elite individuals and organizations over decades of research and practice.

Best-Know Success Pattern (BKSPs) is what MVI is about! We measure 989 data-elements, with 922 cross-calcuations from 1,000 companies on a monthly basis! Then, FOCUS on the 90th percentile to see WHO is operating at the highest levels…then we study, document and communicate this to our clients! BKSPs are always accomplished by a minority of companies statistically and by definition. They are OUTLIERS, living in the extremity of the normally distributed Bell-Curve. The practices can be radically different or subtle. However, they are NEVER popular…at least at first… So being an Outliner is a lonely place! It takes courage! But this is the PRICE of accomplishment and being a real Leader!

This message isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about learning to recognize the "patterns" that work and aligning your life and company with them.
