EP223: The 4 Keys To Excellence

On this episode of The Alliance Activity podcast, Andy Albright talks to you about the four behaviors of excellence.

The 4 Behaviors of Excellence

Excellence Quote: "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." --Henry David Thoreau

Moral: The price of success or being the best comes with the exchange of the sacrifice you are willing to make.

The 4 Behaviors of Excellence

1. Be Deliberate
   2. Set the Bar High
   3. Be Proactive
   4. Invest in Your Capacity
2. Be Deliberate Quote:

"The way into the hall of success always passes through the chamber of decision. Decide to be a success; success is deliberate!" –Author Unknown

Moral: Deciding gives you permission to be deliberate.

1. Be Deliberate

Requires Two Things:

• Dedication to a goal (the pursuit itself becomes the center of your life's purpose).
• Intentionality within the goal (the relentless focus only on what is attached to your purpose).

2. Set the Bar High Quote:

"You never will know how far you can reach until you stretch your desire." --Jeff Bright

Moral: You will never honor expectations until you obtain the desire to accept challenge and the desire to seek completion.

2. Set the Bar High

Requires Two Things:

• Passion for a result (getting up every day with something to prove fuels your enthusiasm for achievement.
• Ambition within the result (your aspirations or goals become driven by a distinctive result, instead of the result being dictated by your hopes and dreams). Ambition tied directly to a result soon becomes an objective and loses its' "one day" mentality.

3. Be Proactive Quote:

"Knowing is not enough. We must apply. Willing is not enough. We must do." --Bruce Lee

Moral: Knowing gives birth to preparation which gives birth to application.
Willing gives birth to boldness which gives birth to doing.

3. Be Proactive

Requires Two Things:

• Preparation to run faster (serving tomorrow should not be done with the same quality as serving yesterday).
• Intensity within the run (the ability to block out the pain of effort is essential to being enterprisingly bold).

4. Invest in Your Capacity Quote:

"Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it." --Rabindranath Togore

Moral: Excellence is realized when your capacity is laced with readiness and filled with appropriate knowledge. You cannot drink from the cup of knowledge if your cup is already full of a big ego.

4. Invest in Your Capacity

Requires Two Things:

• Humbleness to the growth (taking pride in your craft is best exhibited with a big fat case of the leaning-ins).
• Maturity within the growth (having the ability to stop speaking big things and start understanding small things).
