Excellence is a quality we admire wherever we see it. And with a bit of work you can see it every day in your own life.
Use this GenuLines look at excellence to ramp up your efforts.
Are You Committed to Excellence?
You’ve no doubt heard of the phrase ‘committed to excellence.’ Now, do you understand what it means?
The following quote is from Aristotle:
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
Immediately you can see that excellence is a habit, and you can create most any habit. The best way to create a new habit is by setting new goals and creating a plan of attack.
Let’s see how you can do this.
The Why
First you want to define your reasons, or why, for wanting to commit to excellence. Does this pertain to your business, your family life or for some other reason?
If it helps write down your reasons and your why for wanting to achieve this.
If your business is your target there are some simple actionable steps that you can put into place. As for your clients, get into the habit of demanding more from yourself than they do of you.
You can please your clients by doing any of the following:
Giving more value
Over delivering
Finishing the work ahead of schedule
Adding a bonus
Be A Pro
Another way to improve is with a professional image. Is your website, logo, and brochure information looking good?
Are your business cards and other materials all up to date and modern looking? If not this is one simple area to improve upon.
Customer service is another area to examine. Make sure you have a great customer service center, whether online or offline.
Always respond to tickets in a timely fashion. And never get angry at the customer, regardless of the situation.
If you want to excel in life then start by putting forth the best effort you can. If you do this on a consistent basis you’ll have that air of excellence surrounding you.
This will rub off on other people and they’ll begin to view you in a different light.
