Are You Really Committed to Excellence?
Have you ever heard of the term
'committed to excellence'?
Do you really understand what it means?
Here is how Aristotle defined what excellence is.
"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."
You can see immediately that excellence is a habit.
And, yes, you guessed right.
Any habit can be formed.
What is the best way to create a new habit?
Set yourself new goals and create a plan of action.
Let's see how you can do this.
First you must define your reasons.
You should be clear why you want
to commit to excellence.
Is this related to your business,
your family life
or for some other reason?
It might be helpful to write
down the reasons why
you want to achieve this goal.
Is your aim to stay committed to
excellence for your business?
There are simple actionable steps
that you can put into place.
In handling your business customers,
demand more from yourself than they do of you.
Here are a few ways to easily please your clients:
• give more value,
• deliver more than usual,
• finish the work ahead of schedule,
• Add in a bonus or two.
Here is another way to improve
your business through excellence.
Portray a professional image.
Make sure that your website, logo,
brochure information, business cards etc.
are all up to date and modern looking.
If not, this is one simple area to make improvements.
You can also offer excellence in customer service.

This could be online or offline.

You can even create one using Google Hangouts.
Deliver quality customer service to
your clients and your customers.
And you’d easily provide excellence.
Always respond to tickets in a timely manner.
Never get angry at the customer,
regardless of the situation.
Do you want to excel in your life?
Then, you can start by trying to
do the best that you can.
Do this consistently enough.
And you will have that air of excellence surrounding you.
This will rub off on other people.
And they will begin to view you in a different light.
