Mediocrity keeps you employed. Excellence gets you promoted.
Mediocre employees are among the first to be terminated or exited from organizations.
If you’re a small business owner, mediocrity keeps customers, clients or patients hanging on by a thread. They will leave for a competitor offering a cheaper price, better service or when something goes wrong.
Excellence, however, transforms employees into senior executives and transforms customers, clients or patients into ardent long-term patrons who are happy to make referrals to their family and friends, helping you to grow your business and your wealth.
Mediocrity and Excellence are habits of thought.
Those who forge the Rich Thinking habit of Excellence, seek to exceed the expectations of themselves and others. They provide added value to the lives of those they serve. This Excellence habit translates into higher income or profits, which produces wealth.
Mediocrity, or the desire to do the bare minimum, is also a habitual way of thinking – a Poor Thinking habit. Those who forge the Poor Thinking habit of Mediocrity, do the bare minimum to keep their job or keep their customers. This Mediocrity habit keeps you stuck in a rut, struggling financially all your life.
Thoughts are seeds. As those seeds sprout, they create good or bad circumstances, depending on the types of seeds (thoughts) you decide to plant.
You are the farmer. You plant the seeds. Which seeds are you planting?
