A Path to Excellence – The Blueprint to Achieving Your Greatest Potential

Introduction

Hi there, fellow growth seeker and change-maker!

More than ever, pursuing excellence and achieving your most significant potential is on everyone's agenda. Regardless of what goal you want to achieve or what results you want to create, having a proven blueprint for achieving them has something to do with it. No matter whom I coach, high achievers, leaders, business owners, celebrities, or CEOs of fortune 500 organisations, one thing they all have in common is they want to be excellent at what they do.

Before I share more, let me thank you for choosing to be part of the tribe that loves to Unfakeably Influence The World. I trust my previous newsletter topic; Authenticity is The New Currency, was valuable for you, your family, relationship, entrepreneurial, career, business, and financial success journey.

Why Choosing A Path to Excellence

Deep down, if you want to be the master of your destiny, why strive for average when you are destined for excellence? Do you want to achieve the greatest potential of your life? Are you ready to start living a life that inspires others, instead of boring them? Do you want to push yourself out of your comfort zone and learn something new every day? Are you an entrepreneur? Are your business thriving and your finances growing? If it is not, where you would like them to be? If these are some of the questions you want to know the answers to, this article is for you. In this article, I'll cover key elements that will help you achieve personal excellence. We'll also review how these elements can be incorporated into your daily lives.

Create a vision for your future.

A life without an inspiring vision is like the earth without the sun – cold, dark, and frightening. Your first step is to create a mental picture of what you want to achieve. Then create a detailed description of what you want to achieve, and your high-level view of what you want to accomplish forms a clear vision of where you want your life and business to be in the future.

The more specific, detailed, and emotive the vision is, the more chances you give yourself to achieve it. In addition, it should include SMARTER (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely, Empowering and Resourceful) goals that are achievable within a reasonable time frame.

Set huge inspirational goals that excite you.

Inspiration is what allows you to be creative and achieve the impossible. You can achieve anything if you set your mind to it, but to do that, you need inspiration. Achieving goals requires effort and determination—and sometimes inspiration helps you through those moments when things aren't going well.

Inspirational goals are different from general ones because they're exciting and inspire enthusiasm within us. For example: "I want my business to become a household name" is not an inspirational goal; but "I want my business to earn ￡5 million in sales this year whilst making a huge difference to my customers" is much more inspiring because it makes us feel like we can actually be successful with our efforts.

The key is that inspirational goals are unique—they excite the person setting them rather than just looking like tasks on an endless list of things they have to do today or tomorrow!

When setting your goals for your future self (whether personal or professional), consider these tips:?Be specific about what success will look like. Make sure that each objective has at least one step (e.g., "create a marketing plan"), so there's somewhere else for momentum after. Set up milestones along the way so it doesn't feel overwhelming. Make sure each milestone has some sort of reward attached – both short-term incentives and longer-term rewards such as recognition by peers/colleagues/family members, etcetera…

Think big, but start small.

The first step to achieving your greatest potential is to have a clear idea of what that is. You need to know what you want and why you want it for success to be within your reach. But making the leap from dreaming about success to actually achieving it can be daunting; however, if you break things down into manageable steps and take them one at a time, achieving excellence will become an achievable reality. Many years ago I was on the hamster wheel of 9 to 5 struggling to make ends meet and could have never imagined becoming financially free through the lifestyle business and the freedom I have today, it all happened as a result of thinking big and starting small.

Focus on personal excellence.

When it comes to your life and career, focus on personal excellence and not on others. Focus on personal excellence and not on your weaknesses; do not dwell on what you can't or don't have, but rather focus your energy on being the best version of yourself that you can be. Focus on personal excellence and not limitations or problems; even if there are issues or situations beyond your control, remember that no one is perfect. There will always be something bigger than our current circumstances calling for us to grow as human beings.

Get out of your comfort zone.

You must get out of your comfort zone. If you are not in a safe, comfortable place or state, then there is no way for you to grow and move forward. You can't grow if there's nothing to grow from - it's like trying to plant seeds on top of concrete! The only way you will improve at what you do is by putting yourself in situations where failure is possible (and even probable).

In order for this process of growth and development to happen, however, we need something else besides just getting out of our comfort zones: we also need feedback.

Be around the best.

One of the best ways to become a more excellent person is by spending your energy, time, and money with people who can teach you how to grow into your fullest potential faster. Money favours speed is something that I have been teaching many of my clients whom I have helped grow to 7, 8 and 9-figure businesses. Being around coaches, mentors, and people who inspire you will help you develop and hone your skills, making you an even better person. If you hang out exclusively with mediocre people, it's unlikely that any growth will occur on your part—you're just going to get stuck in the mud (or worse: muck).

But don't worry if this sounds intimidating; even if you feel like there aren't many great models around where you live or work (which is possible), nothing is stopping you from going online! Plenty of resources can help point the way toward excellence through inspiration and education—ensure they're vetted before consuming them wholeheartedly.

Live a life of discipline and commitment.

One of the many reasons many people fail to grow to their fullest potential is failing to commit to their goals and discipline themselves to achieve them. Often, they stop growing by listening to their excuses and feeling they have reached a certain point and no longer need help from others. Many of my successful clients stay on my yearly retainer coaching programs to help them be disciplined in their approach and strategy. Ensure they are disciplined with how they spend their time and energy; sometimes, this also involves helping them be disciplined with what they eat and drink and how much exercise they get each day. Most importantly, help them be disciplined in managing their relationships with others (including family, friends, and acquaintances). Many clients who seek my advice to grow their wealth also do it so I can help them be disciplined about personal finances by creating a clear financial growth plan they can follow.?

Overcome struggles with ease.

For you to achieve your greatest potential, you must believe in yourself. You must have a positive attitude and discipline when it comes to your goals. Commitment and focus are also vital as they will keep you on track until the end of your journey.

Believe in yourself, even when others don't.

Last but not least, belief! Believe in yourself, even if others don't believe in you at first. Know that if someone doesn't like what they see, then it's their problem, not yours, and don't let them bring down your self-esteem because of it! Be aware that sometimes our ego gets the best of us. We can stop ourselves from adopting more empowering beliefs, reaching out to coaches and mentors who can give us expert advice, and keep learning as we take on various life battles.

The truth is…

Everyone's journey is different, but that doesn't mean you can't follow your path to excellence. Take risks, and don't be afraid to fail. Try new things and ask for help when needed. The only way you can truly achieve greatness is if you are able to believe in yourself - even when others don't agree with your vision or ideas.

The Good News I Am Eager to Share

At some point in August, I am releasing my latest book in a series of self-mastery books called ?A Path to Excellence. It explores what enables you to become great at what you do and perform at the highest levels of personal and professional excellence—empowering readers to go beyond perceived limits and face their doubts, excuses, fears, and feeling unproductive at home and work.

My client Alan, the CEO of a substantial international retail company, described it as "a volume of inspired wisdom that gives you the clarity, the hope, and the blueprint to clarify your vision of excellence and become extremely committed and resilient as you face the challenges of the eight transitional cycles of life."

On every page of this inspired book, you will find the key elements you need to incorporate into your daily lives to achieve personal excellence.

Conclusion

To achieve personal excellence, you need to create a clear, values-driven vision for your future, set inspirational goals that excite you, and focus on being the best you can be in your chosen field of expertise. If you stick to this blueprint, then greatness will follow. Remember: there are no shortcuts on this road to success; it takes determination and dedication to make it happen!
