What does it mean to chase excellence instead of money?

Eric Thomas 0:00
Chase excellence, never chase money. Why? Because money has an incredible way of finding excellence. Did you chase excellence and not money? Do you have the intellectual curiosity to learn everything you can about this incredible industry and master it? Become the smartest person in the room. Have you mastered it?

Excellence.

Do you really believe that it's something that happens overnight? It can't be given to you. No one is going to hand it to you. You have to sleep, you have to breathe, you have to eat it every single day of your life until you achieve that greatness. When we talk about excellence, we are talking about an obsession to outwork and outperform everybody in the room.

How can intellectual curiosity lead to mastery in your field?

Eric Thomas 1:22
What is your current standard on life, on excellence, on how you pursue things, how you operate? Basically, when you show up, do you show up in an excellent way? Do you show up with an average way? Or do you show up in a mediocre, half-prepared, half-thought-out way? Listen to me very carefully. Excellence is about standing. And excellence is a requirement for your dream to come true. When others are sleeping, You need to be awake. Work on having an excellent driven mindset. Sure, there are gonna be some times and you're gonna just fall to the left and you may even fall to the right. You may even fall back. Learn from your mistakes. Grow from your mistakes. And become unique. But never quit. Don't stop moving forward.
Eric Thomas 2:22
Most people are totally okay with decent. But I ain't talking about most people. I'm talking about you. You want to be a great one? You want to be great? Let me break it down to you. Listen to me. Are you only okay with excellence? Until excellence is the only option, we got something to work on. Until excellence is the only thing you'll settle for, we got work to do, my friend. Before you can be excellent, you must first see what excellence looks like. I want you to make a conscious decision that from this day forward, excellence will be the description of everything you do. Like high performance and high achievement, it's just who you have become. You may feel that because you're failing so much, you're so good and you're so excellent at failing, but you're not realizing that you're growing from your failures.
Eric Thomas 3:11
You're becoming more powerful. You are educating yourself. You are realizing that your excellence is being nourished. It's going to get stronger. You are planting the seed. Average is not who you are. Okay is not who you are. Decent. That is not who you are. Excellent. is who you are, nothing else will do.
Eric Thomas 3:59
You gotta know your weaknesses. You gotta know your strengths. You gotta know your vulnerabilities. Be it in business, in relationships, in time management, in investments, it doesn't matter. Self-awareness is one of the most paramount distinctives that make up excellence. If I'm not aware, I'm bankrupt. What is your standard right now? If your standard ain't excellent, what is it going to take for you to get there? A little bit more. You gotta agree that if you're not operating in an excellent mindset, it's gonna require a little bit more. Sometimes it ain't even a whole lot more. Sometimes you're close. Just a little bit more to turn a C into a B. Just a little bit more to turn a B into an A. Sometimes all it takes is just a little bit more.
Eric Thomas 4:56
None of us are perfect. It is something that seems to be so far away It almost seems like it cannot be touched. But this is why we continue to work towards it.

What is the significance of showing up with excellence?

Eric Thomas 5:15
To work towards perfection. To work towards being the best of ourselves. You may feel that maybe you're so good at feeling, you don't even realize that the more you're feeling, you're learning. Excellence is taking full responsibility for your future. And the game of life or whatever arena you are stepping into and whatever industry that you are moving into, the realm for error is very, very small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half a second too slow, too fast, and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break, every minute, every second.
