Striving towards Excellence

A day seldom passes without someone telling me that he or she wants to build a business. The person has a good idea and the desire to make a difference in others' lives. My recommendation is always the same: Great! People would love to hear your idea, so do it!

Building business takes time, commitment, and passion. It is done mainly based on how badly someone wants it. It takes persuasive persistence to act on the business idea and execute it into action.

Most of the time, that business idea remains an intention and never gets done. That person may have a great idea inside his or her head and may have decided to build a business, but the business will not build itself. Such people are vacationing in someday isle.

How do you leave this vacation spot? Get going and do something!

How many times did you decide to do something and then not follow through?

For many people, this is a routine choice- but how often have they looked back, regretting that they didn't pursue a goal, or take the time to explore a new idea, because they were waiting for some better or time.

"The only difference between a rut and the grave is the depth" says Brian Tracy.

Spend more time on action and less time on thinking about what you want to do. Those who take action usually fare much better than those who are swept along by whatever life brings.

Study successful people. What choices have they made to help them reach their level of success?

Keep learning. Read everyday. The difference between successful and the mediocre is that successful never stop learning.
