6 Milestones on the Path to Personal Excellence


Dan Rockwell and Michael Hyatt, discussing Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World

During my conversation with Michael we discussed the path to personal excellence:

  • Commit to excellence.
  • Identify things that matter most.
  • Prioritize what matters. Not everything has to be done with excellence.
  • Have integrity.
  • Set high standards. Never let anyone else set the bar higher than you.
  • Don’t let excellence become an excuse for procrastination.

Number six strikes at the reason many never achieve excellence. Don’t look for excellence in one giant leap; take steps. Once you’ve done the first five steps toward personal excellence, hoist your sails; those who delay inevitably flounder.
