Don’t be good…Be Great

So many people in life say they want more or that deserve more. Then you have others who say that there are good. I get it that one must confident to be good at whatever it is they do. You have a job and you are at the top of the pile in your area of performance at your job and you are confident and comfortable…meaning you are good. However, the reality to me is that you are totally on “auto-pilot” sleeping at the wheel. The skies are blue and there’s nothing wrong with you on the job. This is where things have gotten a little dangerous on the job (complacency). Let’s go back to the term “auto-pilot” and look at what I am saying to you.

The Federation Aviation Administration a few year ago did study and discovered a couple of things with its pilots. The first was that the discovered a great deal of pilots were relying on auto-pilot to fly their planes. The second discovery was that it was diminishing their flying skills. Today, on their jobs, so many people have either reached the plateau of what they think their potential should be, or they are so confident and comfortable that their skills are now not sharp enough or willing to what it takes to go to the next level on their jobs. Why does this happen? Who’s responsible for this? The answer is you and your fears! The problem is people today are just settling for good… when they can be great but many of you are afraid of the work and sacrifices involved with becoming great at their craft.

Most people really don’t know what it takes to be great. Some people want to be great but really and truly do not know how. In order to be great you must first be passionate about what you do and have no fear. So many people want to be great but they are in not in love with what they do. Many would rather just be good because good is the new average to many…people like being comfortable. Many have forgot how passionate they were to get their current job…you got and you start out on fire and the flames soon burned out. The flame did not burn out but your passion did. You see it’s like the first day of school, that first date you had potential for greatness but you settled for good. You must be passionate about your work and treat like a career and not job. You good people have a job… Great people have a career.

People with careers are always seeking to improve looking for new challenges… while people with jobs are doing just enough to get by to be good(average). To be great you can never settle for good you must be willing to make sacrifices for greatness and become uncomfortable doing new things and having a winning attitude. In order to achieve greatness you need speak out into the atmosphere one time and that’s it! After that make plans and go to work but know you probably won’t have time for television or hanging out with average friends. No offense but you need to network get a mentor who is in the greatness class…meaning they are where you want to be or have been where you’re trying to go. You will need to study the top people in your field in other words you become a student of what you do. Remember, every great person in their profession was once an under study to their mentor before achieving greatness or they made some huge sacrifices to position themselves at threshold of greatness.

Lastly you must put yourself in position to win! What do I mean by this? Like I said before you will need new friends….your five closes friends the people you hang around the most will define your income and level of good or great. You must position yourself around great people who are willing to educate, motivate, and inspire you to be great. Nowadays, being great doesn’t mean you need speak to everyone…today you must show everyone. Your work behind the scenes while no one else is around while require sacrificing time, money for seminars and books. Positioning yourself is crucial and you need to be consistent in your habits and actions daily. Being great is being all in whatever it is you are passionate about. Stop settling for good when you know that there is greatness in you.
