Excellence and Enterprise

Excellence is the introduction of beauty to something that was mediocre or lacking in splendor. For instance, you enter into a room and it is scattered, and you decide to arrange it, after the arrangement you will realize that the beauty of the room will be seen. What you have simply done is that you have introduced beauty to a room that was lacking in splendor. Excellence is an endangered trait, not everyone is striving to attain excellence. It is important to know that there is the learning of excellence and there is also spirit of excellence, those that have it inbuilt, they are excellent in whatever they do.

Excellence is striving to be the best at what you do, using yourself and the prevailing market standard as a benchmark. It is you exceeding your own standard and the market standard, because everyone around you is not doing business well does not mean that you should not learn how to be excellent in your business. The fact that you are the only barber in your environment does not mean you should not have a good customer relation. That business you are prospering in now and you are not being excellent at it, but because you are the only one around you do not care, one day is coming when someone that probably is not as good you will come up, but because the person has that touch of excellence, that good customer relation you don't have, it is only a matter of time before the person will take over.

A lot of business today lacks excellence, hence more reason they are not prospering. If you have an eatery and it is not looking well kept, you don't expect that people will leave other neat eatery and come to yours. Excellence is scarce. Excellence will take from you, it doesn't come for free, you make efforts. You have to be intentional about it, somedays you don't feel like it, but because you know you can't afford to be lazy about it, you just have to do it. An excellent person does not peruse. Being excellent will cost you, for instance, you want to set up a saloon. You know fully well that there are original and standard equipment to use and there are also the fake ones that look like originals. Now, if you are an excellent person, you will know fully well that you can't afford to compromise by getting fake equipment, but a non excellent person will not care until they get to a point where they would regret getting the fake equipment. This is why i said excellent will cost you, but the end thereof is good.

There are a lot of people that have talent. For instance, some people have the talent of being a footballer, while some footballers have to do some real hard work. If a talented person is not careful by adding a touch of excellence, hard work will eat talent for lunch. Excellence also attracts favour, i have a friend that is excellent in her fashion sense and most times when she boards taxi, someone get to pay her transport fare as a complement for her dress sense or the perfume she was wearing.

Add a touch of excellence to that business you are doing, it might not always pay immediately, but with consistency you will definitely get the reward.`
