DEVELOP A STRATEGY 2

Success minded people define certain things differently from average minded people. To an average man, hitting 70% is just good enough, a successful man will be depressed if he doesn't reach 95% for starters. An average man calls such aiming propensity "perfectionism"  but the success minded man calls it "Aiming for excellence". 

As part of strategic planning for this new year, it is important you begin by redefining what excellence will mean to you this year. 

What is your own definition for excellence?

If you set yourself a goal and you achieve the goal within the parameters you set for yourself...then you are average....but "I achieved it already" yes...you did...but again you are "average". 

When you set your goals...don't just achieve them...your aim should be to smash them. 

If you planned showing up by 9:30a.m. for a 10:00a.m. event, show up by 9:00a.m. in execution. 

They said you have 6 months to deliver, deliver it in 4 months. 

Jesus said..."If a man bid thee to go a mile...go with him twain" (Matt. 5:41). 

Meaning the least to give in everything is give "twice as much"...Jesus said what he said in relating with someone else...How much more in relating to yourself and "your own goals". 

How do you stop a man who has determined to wake up earlier than the prompting of his own alarm clock? 

How do you stop a man who sets his own records and breaks the same record without your permission? 

When Jesus fed the 5,000 men (minus women and Children) 12 baskets remained. [Matt. 14:20]

When he fed the 4,000 men (minus women and children) 7 baskets remained. [Mark 8:8].

If this year will be different from the previous don't just set goals but aim to smash those goals. 

If your strategy is "average", you will have average outcomes...if your strategy is "outstanding" then you will have outstanding outcomes. 

Those who aim for excellence never miss success. 

You will not fail!
