Take Action!

One of the biggest factors in Striving4Excellence is to simply take action.  Over the past week I was involved in several meetings.  The meetings that I came away from feeling positive with our direction, were the meetings where we stressed we needed an action plan before leaving with deadlines.  In all you do make sure that you have an idea where you are going next and be sure to take action.  You may have to change your action as you go and adjust, but take the first step and put your plan or idea into action!  It is the only way to accomplish anything.

I challenge you to take one thing you have been putting off and Strive4Excellence by taking action.  Get the ball rolling.  You will be amazed with what you can accomplish by simply taking that first step.

Think

How do we become more efficient?  Improve our lives?  Improve others lives?  Improve our world?  I came across this video from IBM on YouTube that outlined a method for improvement and progress that can be applied to many situations.  Whether you are trying to increase yields growing crops, improve your defensive stance in basketball, or be more efficient with your study habits (it all applies).  The first 4 minutes of the video do an excellent job of explaining the process and then goes on to give examples of how the process has been used around the world.  The challenge for you is to look at your life.  How can you Strive4Excellence using this method to improve your life and surroundings?
