In my last blog entry, I talked about being excellent by taking ownership. The following steps will help you excel with your commitment to excellence.
Always give more than what is asked of you
When someone asks for help with a certain task or chore be prepared to go one step further.
If a neighbor needs help moving old furniture out of the house, offer to help move the new furniture in too.
If you are working for a client or customer, over-deliver by adding something extra that adds value without being asked.
Be passionate about what you do for an occupation
If you want to excel at work then you need to be passionate about what it is you do every day.
This may not be that easy, especially if you aren't that happy with your current job.
The next time you are asked to deliver a project, be passionate about it and put all your efforts into it. Do it for yourself – not your boss. This way you know you delivered your best work.
If you know you are ready to start looking for a new job and want my guidance, let’s schedule a time to talk. Visit my calendar and pick a time that works best for you.

Believe your actions will make a difference
Have you ever stopped yourself from helping someone because you didn't think it would make a difference? Stop this type of behavior.
All of your actions, even small ones, will make a difference. Start believing this if you want to excel with everything you do.
Challenge yourself at all times
Do you take the easy way out, or are you up for a challenge?
People who excel love challenges and are always looking for one. Completing a challenge can really boost your self-confidence.
At the beginning of the year I challenged myself to read 14 books by the end of the year. I just finished reading Susan Lucci’s book All My Life: A Memoir. I grew up watching All My Children, so her story was of great interest to me.
Expect the best of everyone
Start thinking about yourself and others in a positive manner from now on. Look for the good in others, and hold onto that.
A word of caution. If they show you otherwise, take note of that.
Always follow through with things and follow up
How many times have you started a job and put all your effort into it, only to find your energy levels dwindle?
Only take on a job that you know you can finish and when you do ensure that you do it right, and get it finished on time.
Focus on one task or goal at a time
Doing too many things at one time is a sure-fire way not to excel at anything. You simply have too many projects and not enough time.
By using the above steps you can easily start to excel with excellence in your daily life.
