Good to Great at a much quicker rate

The transition period from good to great is often a steep one. It is the decision to go all out instead of only halfway. What can this mean in your life? It can mean going from a C student to an A student. It can mean going from manager to CEO. It could mean going from volunteer to charity event coordinator.

The decision is simple: do your best and then figure out how to do it even better the next time. Great is not a destination but rather a continuous process. Are you the future of your company? The next CEO? Maybe you are the next world’s greatest mom or dad?

What will you accomplish when you make the leap?

Expanding your brand

When we think about big name brands like Walmart or Target, what does the word brand mean to us? For some people the word brand only applies to large companies. Don’t fool yourself, you are your own personal brand. That’s right, everywhere you go, everything you do, people think of your name and associate it with the actions you perform. Use this to your advantage and make your name a trusted one.

When a promotion is given, it means that the person receiving it has been an important part in the company’s success. Promotions are for reliable and hardworking people who mean something to the company in which they work. It is important to remember how much your brand is worth and continue to grow yourself through your company. If your boss thinks of your name when he needs someone reliable, it means your name has been tied to the ability to be reliable and you have in essence created a reliable “brand name” for you as a person.

Build your brand, expand, and enjoy knowing you matter because you are you.
