“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Let's see 10 habits of excellence:
1. Give everything you’ve got to everything you do.You’ve got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you’ve got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body.
2. Know your business.
If you know your business you will know what it takes to excel.
3. Be enthusiastic.
Nothing great is achieved without enthusiasm.
4. Be the first to act intelligently.
Don’t just think intelligently, act upon it. Knowledge is only potential power, it’s what you do with that knowledge that makes it powerful and life changing.
5. Earn a reputation for reliability.
This will set you apart from the armies who simply “show up”. Show up early and demonstrate a faithful character. Faithfulness is a rare quality these days but it is standard equipment in the commitment to excellence.
6. Work smarter not harder.
Learn how to work smart, know when to load up and go for it and when to limit your labor and enjoy the journey. At the same time, do not confuse resting with laziness.
7. Take time to retool.
Don’t become too busy to listen to your life and reassess situations.
8. Under promise and over deliver.
“Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries and your predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”
9. Demonstrate a positive attitude.
In a world of negative, if you want to be noticed, be positive.
10. Remember there is no traffic jam on the extra mile.
When everyone else around you is taking the shortcut to success, stay the extra mile. The road may be long and hard, but there is no crowd and the rewards are limitless.
“Most people never grow beyond their circumstances because they fail to lift their heads high enough to seize opportunities; thus killing off ambition. This is why the masses of humanity are “stuck in a rut”. They accept their routine, a habit that finally becomes so strong they cease to ever throw it off. Successful people control their circumstances while others let their circumstances control them.”
