EPISODE 0082 | Pursuing Excellence
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0082
Excellence isn’t just about what you do—it’s about who you’re becoming. In this episode, we dive into the biblical call to pursue excellence in every area of life. Learn how your work can be worship, why diligence sets you apart, and how going above and beyond builds a heavenly reward. Discover how small, consistent habits can lead to lifelong impact.
Pursuing Excellence:
1. Excellence is not about a particular job or career.
2. Success is measured by equipping and empowering others.
3. Excellence is not perfection.
4. Excellence is continual improvement.
5. Operational excellence requires systems, processes & practices that produce maximum productivity.
Process to Think About Work:
1.Do it.
2.Do it right.
3.Do it right now.
4 Actions of Excellence:
1. Live by the Calendar – You don’t have to do everything, just the next thing. You only get overwhelmed when you lose sight of the order.
2. Frontload the Week – Do your biggest and most important work first.
3. Make Lists – Capture what needs to be done so you can equip others. There will never be enough time in day so we need to equip.
4. Work to Rest – Use your time wisely so that you can rest every 7th day. Work hard and smart during the week, honor God with Sabbath.
