In Part 1, we discussed the “big picture” of Greatness! Now, in this Part 2, let’s begin with the end in mind and discuss in just a bit more detail the concept of Greatness!, which must drive you to be Great! in business.
Before we start doing “whatever it takes!” to make you Great! in your own business, let’s agree on our definition of Greatness!
Because you are not with me writing this blog, let’s start with my definition of Greatness!
Greatness! — is a peaceful and satisfied state of mind resulting from using proaction, perception, planning, preparation, practice, and persistence to promote your values, vision, and mission into a practically perfect performance of a balanced creation, highest and best use, and recreation of your life’s precious resources of self, time, effort, energy, emotion, intellect, property, and people to do the best thing in the present circumstances for the optimal balance of the highest priority and the most of those people, places, things, and ideas with whom and which you have relationships and to whom and which and for whom and which your values make you responsible.
I have released one life-changing book on this concept, Great! All the Time!, and anyone who wants a free eBook version of this book can get it by registering to get email notifications of my blog posts at this blog site, GreatAllTheTime.com. I am working on a few other books, including one titled, Great! in Business, and I’m in the final editing stages of my second book on Greatness!, The Great! Life Owner’s Manual, which details how to apply Greatness! every day people are living “The Great! Life.”
I recommend you read Great! All the Time! and, as soon as it is released, The Great! Life Owner’s Manual, as prerequisites to using this blog to become Great! in your own business. Great! All the Time! is readily available and it’s free, and those two things make it inefficient to replow and replant that entire field here and now. Nonetheless, I am willing to give you the “Reader’s Digest” condensed version of Great! All the Time! to help you get along here as quickly as possible.
