The opportunity is not days, weeks, or months away.

It lives with you now.

Every breath, every step, every decision.

You just have to open your eyes and invite it in.

I was in Arizona last week.

Got a chance to interview Joe Polish, best-selling author and founder of the Genius Network.

As I was sort of making my way around the Genius Network office with my coffee that morning, I noticed in one of the meeting rooms there were some quotes hanging on the wall.

One of them was Joe's.

It said, be willing to destroy anything in your life that isn't excellent.

That's certainly a big statement.

I started thinking about my little corner of the universe, running through all the things that might not meet that standard of excellence in my life.

And a few certainly came to mind.

It was freeing to think about.

But could excellence really be a standard for everything?

I mean, that's a high bar.

And so I wrote it down, a little reminder to bring it up later during the interview.

A few hours go by.

Mics are rolling.

And I asked the question, so be willing to destroy anything in your life.

That is an excellent, beautiful quote, but how?
