Commitment comes from the inside out and is tested often. Measure yourself against the best. Most others will choose to be average. This is what average means. You won’t know your limits if you don’t keep trying. Reject the idea of good enough. Commit to excellence. Take each of your goals and think of how you can improve one percent each month.

For the extraordinary, second rate and quitting are not options. You can’t yawn and shrug your shoulders. You are the boss. Through your example, you are responsible for the ener getic or toxic atmosphere in your workplace. You attend to the details. You maintain the standards. You don’t turn a blind eye to anything.
If you need to find new suppliers and new employees and new ways to promote your products or services, you do that.
To keep to a steady course and strive toward excellence, 11 you may have to make improvements again and again.
BillFitzPatrick.com, The Action Principles
Share on FacebookDon’t complicate your life. Think before you act. Look for the simple ways or answers first where less can go wrong. Work from your basics. Make sure that you understand the assignment or the problem before you begin. What are the time and performance expectations that will indicate satisfactory completion? Reexamine how you are doing things. Is a task consuming all of your time? Is it worth the time you are investing? Do you have the necessary resources? Can it be delegated? If so, is the right person assigned to complete the job? Your research, your quiet time, your commitment to teamwork and your prioritized to-do list should all help. Pare away the unnecessary. Even the philosophy underlying these Action Principles® can be stated very simply. Improve yourself and help others.
Average people often complicate business matters because within those complications, they can find excus es for inaction.
Following The Action Principles®, you are a tough, thoughtful, spiritual person of action. What others have done, you can do. You don’t sit around sharing ignorance with your friends. You find knowledgeable teachers and mentors. You listen. You find a way. You research, you think, you plan and you act.
Running a business is not complicated. You offer a quality product at a fair price. You appreciate your cus tomers. You identity the leaders in your industry and you do what they are doing.
Becoming financially independent is not complicated. Average people buy one house in the hope of a com fortable retirement. You buy six properties, pay off your debts, and create a family financial empire.
There are those who talk accomplishment. There are those who listen, learn and accomplish.
