Here we have three tips that may not seem to go together, but with a little more thought, they do. It starts with only selling what's right and not settling for just what's awesome.

Making resolutions is a pastime in which we can all indulge but committing to our resolutions is only for the few of us who are serious about being the best we can be. This level of commitment starts with understanding that each of us is a leader and a role model for others. Yes, each of us. The issue is not whether we are leaders and role models. We are. The issue is whether we recognize our responsibility and commit to being the best we can be with everyone, whenever and wherever we engage with other people. -- Are we the example they should be following?

Here are my twenty resolutions to be the best I can be with other people. Whether you choose to join me in any or none of the resolutions is your call.

The ear worms are hear to give us time to ponder the "Why" of it.

The pursuit of Personal Excellence is a lifetime journey and never merely an event. What's more, it's a journey that many start but only a few sustain. For those few, it seems easy and natural, something that requires little effort. But neither does it just come naturally nor without intense focus and consentration.

Personal Excellence is nothing short of a nonnegotiable commitment to doing the right things right, with everyone, every time, everywhere -- no exceptions, no excuses.

Here you have the opportunity to both listen to Pursuing Personal Excellence and to downloading the MP3 edition for your more leisurely consideration. Will you take up the challenge? Probably not but one never knows. Now and then, that unusual person comes along who not only wants to pursue Personal Excellence but has no option but to take the journey. Pursuing Personal Excellence is a guide book of sorts for you only if you are up to the challenge.

Good luck and happy traveling.
