"Living your best personal and professional life" is a goal and standard that requires different effort from different types of people. On the journey to "living your best," you have a powerful choice of three primary levels of commitment and engagement in your personal and professional life.
Standard 1 - Competency.
Competency is simply the bare minimum. It requires no creativity, initiative, thoughtfulness, competitiveness or even very much effort. Most people who are unsatisfied with their business and careers are settling for competence, which leads to complacency.
Standard 2 - Excellence.
Excellence is what occurs when competition enters the picture. A desire for excellence leads to efforts to win, be known as the best and achieve some level of recognition. This is true in both the personal and professional realm. Excellence is focused on how you are perceived by others.
Standard 3 - Mastery.
Mastery represents an extraordinarily high level of engagement that is manifested when you give your very best efforts. The “pursuit of mastery” is a lifelong journey that is as internally fulfilling as it is outwardly laudable. Mastery represents a commitment and dedication that very few people are willing to pursue; therefore, only those who have a deep love and connection for what they hope to achieve make a commitment to pursue mastery. When mastery is the goal, you are certainly living and walking in your purpose.
It is important to understand these standards and levels of engagement in your personal and professional life because they play a major role in the level of peace and fulfillment you will (or may not) enjoy from your success. Your level of engagement is also the core of your professional brand. Are you settling for competence in your professional life or striving for mastery?
