Standards of Excellence in Business

What standards have you set for yourself and your business?
Do you give excellence so you receive excellence in return?

To be really successful and have repeat business, you must set the standards for yourself and your business as well as the excellence you plan to deliver.

You cannot expect your clients to be timely if you’re always running late or receive prompt payment from your customer if you are not delivering on your client’s requests.


On that same note, if who are you bending over backwards to please don't be surprised when you get run over.

Yes you are running a business and with that fact in mind always remember who you are serving while still being authentic to your business needs.

I know I love to know exactly what to expect from the business(es) I frequent and I love to share with my friends and family the business that provide for me their excellence which makes me feel like I matter in what they do.

So take time today and create your top ten standards for yourself and your business.
Examples:
1) Timely service (no waiting, by appointment only, 24hr turn-around etc)
2) Quality products and affordable prices (100% natural and organic)
3) Easy payment methods (credit, debit etc)
4) Customized solutions (Tailored training program to suit each client)
5) Same day On-site visits  (Call today see you today)
6) We use only fresh ingredients or Fresh products daily

Then for each category determine what the excellence is behind the standards you are setting.
For 1) No waiting  - Your excellence statement would be - I ensure my client is promptly attended to as they walk through the our door.
For 3) I offer easy payment solutions - Your excellence statement would be - I ensure my payment process in working the moment I walk into my business.
For 6) We use only fresh ingredients - Your excellence statement would be - I choose suppliers that ensure they can delivery to me daily to ensure my products are fresh and well stocked.
If you are an on-line business make sure your information is up-to-date and relevant. Remove information from 2years ago.

You will find that having this list will not only assist you be better at serving your clients but you will also bring the right type of clients and suppliers into your business.

Once you set the right standards, you can deliver the excellence you would like to achieve for yourself and your business as you have now set the right level of expectation.

The Power of Choice

We all know about choice but "Do You understand what You are choosing"... I saw a bit of the movie Dangerous Minds the other day where Michele Pfieffer character asked her class about the choice they made everyday to get on the bus to go to school while others stayed home to sell drugs or worse....She asked them to think about why they choose to get on the bus...Because each on of them chose to be in her class everyday...
So many us don't understand why we decided to get on the bus....

Just for today take a few moments and think about this question......

Do you know why you get on the your bus (car, train, etc) every day???

The answer may surprise you or you may just be surprised that you have never really given it that much thought.

Post  your comments and let me know more about Your Whys...

My Thought for Today

It's more than just the pitch but the integrity of the behind the statements... It's more than just the facts & the figures but the culture it delivers... It's more than just the game being played but the players on the field... It's about the excellence being delivered that is going to seal the deal for me....

Aloette Cosmetics -Opportunity Sessions

What a bolt of energy Mr. Tom Judson, President of Aloette Cosmetics, was..... He's is definitely an American at heart but he was quite at home in the Canadian franchise of Toronto East/West operated by franchise President - Ann Marie Roche.


For two nights, he had a room full of over 250+ women laughing and energized that one man knows so much about women's products.

His knowledge of Aloette's Skin Care line and it's mineral based cosmetics line, goes to his dedication to the company he values. This former Tupperware sales man....knows his way around the direct selling market and was able to show us the detailed difference around Aloette's unique products, compensation plan and the value it places on the people who make Aloette Cosmetics what it is today.

Ageless Science

The demonstration on the product Ageless Science was a true testimony to the products components of hyaluronic acid and the nanotechnology patented by Aloette to deliver this amazing skin care treatment right through all the layers of the skin to the dermas where the skin can truly heal and repair on all levels. We were able to see the results on the face in 15 minute demonstration. It was truly amazing. As well  he spoke of the amazing benefits of the 5 piece Platinum Skin Care line with all the great aloe healing and repair benefits combined with the added value of slowing the skin’s aging process and another great product in the line, Bio-C powder with the pure healing benefits of vitamin C that protects skin, minimizes the fine lines and stablizes your collagen levels.

5pc Platinum Skin Care Pkg

At the end of Tom's presentation, what impressed me most, was the value he placed on the women in his audience and when he was complete, he left the room feeling energized to action.

Most of the women there, who weren't already consultants, were either signing up to be a part of the Aloette franchise with all its benefits or they were figuring out when they can host their own show and take advance of this amazing skin-care line.

Here's Your $1700+ Starter Kit.... at no cost to you to get started today

Excellence is waiting for you.....

Today I thought I'd share with you a poem that I received several years ago.

It came to me at just the right time just when I needed to hear the words...... so today I  share those words for those who maybe struggling to keep committed to their excellence....

Don't Quit


When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor's cup,

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are -

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

What's holding you back from moving forward with your vision?

Ever wonder why just at the time you are making big changes or going through some amazing expansion, something comes up that slows you down or makes you want to put on the breaks on your amazing new life.

It's the old  you with the disbelief that your life could possibly get any better or the naysayers in your head and the doubting Thomas that are trying to keep you small instead of grand and the excellent being that you are inside.

But it's at those very moments when having someone who sheds light on the many possibilities that are now opening up for you that will assist you in moving to the next level very quickly.

I know when I was going the gym to shed those last 10lbs and wanting to get back in to my size 8 clothes it was nice to have a trainer who reminded me of my vision for myself and who did not let me give-up before my vision of wearing a swimsuit on the beach manifested.

Have you ever decided to run a race or a 10k or 20k walk, aren't there always those key spots where you know you will just want to give up and walk of the path. Isn't it nice that with the knowing, you continue to walk or run the race until you reach the finish line. What an amazing feeling when you cross that line. The feeling of self-accomplishment, the joy and the exhilaration.

If you are at that stage right now where you feel stuck or stagnant and not sure how to move forward then you come to the right place.

Daily Tip - What You Focus on Expands

What are your limiting beliefs:

What is stopping you from achieving your excellence?
My favourite quote from Wayne's book is this

“You elevate your life by taking responsibility for who you are and what you’re choosing to become. You can transcend the ordinary, mundane, and average with thoughts of greater joy and meaning; you can decide to elevate your life, rather than have it stagnate or deteriorate with excuses. Go beyond where you presently are.” Wayne Dwyer

Some of allow the fear of success to stop us from reaching our ultimate vision. I know for me it's important to keep striving for the excellence in me at all times.
 
I AM choosing excellence in this moment and that's all that matters.
 
What are you choosing for yourself today?

An Excellence Quote:

This one of my favourite quotes was taken from an excerpt from the Oprah show when the Smith family visited to explain their family goals and the unity they have created.
I like the quote becuase it reminds us were our deep inspiration must be found...

"So we are there to help inspire and facilitate their vision, because in order to reach the type of excellence that Will is talking about, you have to be able to reach inside yourself to find that drive. Nobody can put that drive in you, so you have to inspire the individual to find and focus on the goal that they want for themselves” Jada Pinkett-Smith

Where do you find your inspiration and drive ? post your comments below and then let me know what you are focusing on now to achieve your excellence.

Thanks much

Millionaire Mind Set ???

What an interesting evening last night with Mr T Harv Eker himself here in Toronto Canada.
T Harv had the audience inspired to create an internet business to create new found wealth in their lives. For about an hour and half he had myself and my friend totally with  him as we totally understood the value of what he had to offer to the audience.

But something happened in the last 15 minutes that makes me question his out-dated business presentation model.
Is it really necessary to YELL at your audience to command attention?
Is it necessary to disempower the very people you had empowered only a few short minutes before?

I won't even repeat some of the things I heard at the end but I do hope T Harv takes a listen to himself at some point cause ....wooooow.... not nice.....

What I believe T Harv forgot in the moment, when he must have lost his mind... is that 300+ member of his audience understand the value of the products and services he has to offer. 90% of us were previous graduates of one of his programs. And his new Bootcamp had the same value if not more.

T Harv - You have a great product.... You are offering value.... your presentation needs to change.....

This is how you empower and inspire others after such and empowering speech:

1)Thank the audience for coming,
2) Let them know that this is a limited time offer
3) Let them know you are only offering to a limited # of people tonight
4) Remind them of the value (tremendous value)
5) Empower the others to sign-up for some of your other programs
6) Remind the other audience members that they can be part of your ambassador program
7) Celebrate the ones who have signed up and thank them for moving so quickly.8) Thank your audience again and let the ones know who will be missing out on your program that you still value them and maybe you may offer the program again in future



This would have been the way I would have liked my night with T Harv to have ended.

Love the inspiration Mr Eker but it's time to move into the new model of inspiring, empowering and celebrating. There is now longer a need to make others feel small for where they are in life. The ones who lead by example is motivation to the rest.

Please feel free to leave your comments or thoughts on the above or similar situations

Step 1 - Creating Your Action Plan

The #1 Business Excellence Mastery


Planning The Vision:

You have a vision for yourself or your business?

One of the most important parts of creating the excellence is to know where you are going and what is your plan, your road map to your successful vision? The plan is important for you to refer back to when you need to clarify or make decision around your vision. Have you documented your business goal for the next month, 3mths, a year? Even if your vision is to become promoted to VP of your company, what steps are you going to take to get there? Are the key players in your life or business aware of your plan?

I had a recent client who had a vision to streamline processes for her company. To bring in new procedures and systems but she had no plan in place on how to get to her end result. So while she was busy making changes other key people in the company were making their own plans. The result lead to chaos and frustration for the entire company. Once we sat down and fully documented the vision then created a plan for the vision, it was easier to let everyone be aware of the one single vision for the company for the next 6 months. It was simpler and easier for everyone to focus and be clearly reminded even when they were tempted to stray slightly from the ultimate vision. With that said, the project was completed in 3 mths instead of 6 with focus and dedication to one plan of for the vision.

Know your plan. Don’t keep it in your head. There is a lot happening day in and out. Moment to moment and don’t expect others to know what is going on inside your head. What do you really want to create….. Chaos or Success.


I leave you with this quote

“Plan to fail if you fail to plan”.
