Your Business: In Pursuit of EXCELLENCE...

EXCELLENCE ~ is all about the CHOICES & ACTIONS you make!

"There are countless ways of attaining greatness. But any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity." ~Buck Rodgers, IBM

13 Lucky Choices!! Every day during your day, you must consciously BE aware of your choices to ENSURE you're traveling on the road to GREATNESS (both personally and professionally) vs. traveling on the road of MEDIOCRITY...

CHOOSE TO BE:

  1. ENERGETIC—vs, being run-down and burned-out.
  2. FOCUSED—vs. being scattered and impulsive.
  3. PASSIONATE—vs. being aimless, apathetic and indifferent.
  4. ENTHUSIASTIC—vs. being half-hearted and discouraged.
  5. PREPARED—vs. being shortsighted and reactive.
  6. PROACTIVE—vs. procrastinating and hesitant.
  7. ORGANIZED-vs. cluttered and overwhelmed
  8. SUPPORTIVE—vs. being critical and judgmental.
  9. SELF-DIRECTED—vs. being directionless and uncertain.
  10. SYSTEMATIC—vs. being haphazard and disorganized.
  11. TIMELY—vs. being distracted and preoccupied.
  12. ACTION ORIENTED-vs planning & more planning (perfectionism).
  13. DISCIPLINED - vs. Rationalizing (Telling yourself LIES=Excuses)
It's easy to make obvious choices consistently if you FIRST identify exactly what's holding you back from being Energetic, Focused, Passionate, Enthusiastic, Prepared, etc. Ask yourself the question for each area...then consciously REMOVE the root-cause/problem by taking IMMEDIATE TINY ACTIONS to REMOVE THOSE BLOCKS.

Remember, every hour you're always choosing between 2 Polar Opposites ~ Conscious Excellence & Conscious Mediocrity...so what will you choose today?

  1. Conscious Excellence ~ is noticing NEGATIVES in your performance and taking immediate POSITIVE ACTION to eliminate it.
  2. Conscious Mediocrity ~ is noticing Negatives in your performance and DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it.

Challenge: As you go through your week, take a good look around you.

Start noticing how you show up in your home, at work, with your colleagues, employer, employees, with your spouse, with your children etc.

Imagine what your life would be like if you actually lived what's most important to you with EXCELLENCE! Notice where in your life - you are using the "good enough" motto...is that area of your life suffering with Mediocrity or is it thriving with Excellence?

Answer: Expect much more!
