Master Excellence … Become the Expert

  We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

-          Aristotle

First define excellence and then master it. What does it take for you to master excellence? When you master something you have personal mastery which in turn creates excellence in that area. Dedicate yourself to mastering what you love to do and where you are spending your time. Think about what you are doing to perfect that area and get better. What can you read, who can you ask, what can you listen to and what courses can you take? Reflect on your potential and tap into it. Refuse to tolerate any negativity. Get to know you who you are and why you are what you are and then work hard to excel at what you love.

Malcolm Gladwell in his book "Outliers" talks about the fact that you must put 10,000  hours into a specific area to become an expert (I have 83,000 hours in leadership roles … what do you have that makes you the expert). I agree that 10,000 hours is a good base. What I wouldn't totally agree with is that it isn't just how much time but what you are doing with that time. If we are focused on the wrong things we just get better at our bad habits.

You must figure out what you want to be an expert in and then get really good in that area. You want to become the go-to person and be so good at what you do that you will be noticed and you can't be ignored. Again it's about loving what you do because then it is natural, genuine and contagious. You will be favoured by people if you are committed and put in the time. You are unique. You will stand out. Become the go-to person in your industry, company or community. Let your unique talents shine. Your agenda is not always how life treats you. You must be open and patient and let things take their natural course. What you can control is you, your reaction, and how you react as life comes barrelling at you.

As Colin Powell puts it … "Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude".
