Today, let's talk about excellence and the power you bring into your life and the pursuit of excellence. I love this quote from NFL coach Vince Lombardi, which is perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.

Perfection isn't attainable because nobody's perfect, but let me ask you this, do you use the word or the phrase nobody's perfect excuse when you're looking in the mirror, you know, to not go after everything you want in your life, do you simply settle for good enough.

Excellence is an attitude for me personally, everything I do from the mindset work, the discipline, the training, the coaches are higher, I do everything I can to maintain my pursuit of excellence in these areas of my life.

One of the ways I do that is through constant and never ending improvement. I'm always looking for ways to make it better. I'm always working progress, but that said, I work hard in my pursuit of excellence. You know, I believe that that pursuit has played a large role in the blessing of my success.

So know this, my friend, you continually working to be the best that you can be will make you successful period. Striving for excellence will bring you to the top of the mountain. However, settling for good enough will put you in an ocean of average, right?

This is why you'll regularly hear me tell you to focus on your strengths and hire a line or partner for the areas that you're weak. I encourage you to focus on putting your energy and to make your strengths better and better and then ultimately excellent.

Now, there's a huge difference between being good and being excellent. Let me ask you this. When you go to the doctor, do you want a good doctor or an excellent doctor?

When you're on a plane, 35,000 feet in the air, do you want a good pilot or an excellent pilot? Now, in this exciting multi-family business, do you want a good partner or an excellent partner?

Take a minute and think about that. Also, think about the five people you hang out with. You know that excellence breeds excellence. You know, like the good book says, iron, sharpens, iron.

So me personally, I want to be in a group that raises the temperature of excellence. I want to be around people that think what I think is hard is easier and push me higher. That's the one reason I started my multi-family boardroom mastermind.

Once a mastermind group that collectively holds somewhere in the 12 to 14 billion dollar range in assets, being around excellence just makes you reevaluate your choices on a consistent basis and helps you maintain that attitude of excellence.

So ask yourself if you're surrounding yourself with excellence or mediocrity. That answer will tell you where you are right now.

So what are some habits that will help you develop and ultimately maintain a standard of excellence in your life? First, hold yourself to a higher standard than the standard of others.

Excellence is not about what others think or do. Excellence about your personal best. Never compromise your standards. For example, just to fit in. Don't do that.

Next, surround yourself with people that pursue excellence. Why? Because you'll be juiced and inspired being around people that are focused on continually bringing their A-game.

When you're in a group of A-players, you're not going to let them see your C-game, right?
