Acheiving Excellence

7 Practical Steps To Excellence and Fortune.

Do you know you can have everything you want in life? Yes… you may not know everything or have access to every desirable opportunity. Yet you can be on top of your game and get the best out of your world.

Responsibility is the price you need to pay to be on top. Therefore you may want to consider the following practical steps to move up the ladder of excellence and Fortune.

Step 1

Excellence is outside your Comfort Zone.

What standard of living do you want to achieve? How much do you dream to achieve in the 365 days? Set a goal in terms of dollars.

Let’s say yours is 100,000 dollars/ year. Calculate it per day. That is about 275 dollars per day. Value your time this way and push yourself to do what you do… so well that you begin to see yourself doing much more than you are expected to do.


Step 2

Dare To Be different and achieve excellence.

Discover your strength and uniqueness. If you do, you will excel. Don’t be limited by thinking that you can only make money by doing what your rich neighbor is doing.

Anyone can excel if he locates his turf and stick with it long enough. No matter how hard we try we cannot be the best in someone else’s turf.

Step 3

Never compromise your standard of excellence.

The moment you discover where you belong, hang in there. When you are trying to stay in your uniqueness, people will come to you several reasons why you won’t succeed. This is normal, because they don’t see what you see. But being able to stick to your vision brings out the excellence in you.

Step 4

Embrace a work Culture for excellence.

The world is full of those who talk the talk without working the work. Before you tell the world how much you know, show them first! The easiest way to do this is by embracing a work culture.

If you are an employee, be the best. Carry out every task with the best quality in mind. Work every minute of your working hour. That’s what it takes to be the best. You may not be the most talented but you can be the most competent.

Also, you may have to run your company sometime soon… and your boss won’t be there to motivate you to excellence. Your work culture then becomes your greatest asset.

Step 5

Resist Distraction and Procrastination- Enemies of excellence

Have a plan for each day and then choose to do the most important first. A lot of tasks will definitely compete for our attention but our ability to say ‘yes’… only to the most important makes us highly productive. When you have to choose between your important tasks and the urgent, I’d advise to go with the important. It is when you fail to do the important task at hand that they become urgent.

Step 6

Constantly strive to improve on yourself for excellence

Every man or woman can reach unimaginable heights of excellence because every one can improve. No matter what level of skillfulness, performance, personality or wealth you have achieved, you can still become better and better. You need to do all you can to succeed? We stand the chance of being limited when we compare ourselves to our environment. 90% of those around us are comfortable with the average. But always keep in mind that you are aiming for excellence. This will keep you improving until you become a global force to be reckoned with.

Step 7

Excellence requires being concerned about others

Great men are men with a a large heart. They don’t think about themselves alone but how to better the lot of their world. That is why they better access to productive ideas and excellent results. They set large goals big enough to impact the less privileged in their communities, nations and the world as a whole. And nature has a way of rewarding them with more wealth than they will ever need in their lifetime.

Excellence is only 7 steps away. Think about it.

To your Success!
