  #277: Excellence Is in the Details | Jay’s Weekly Five

  Sep 29, 20263 min

  What does excellence really look like? In this week’s Jay’s Weekly Five , Jay Young shares why excellence isn’t about being perfect. It’s about caring about the quality of your work, paying attention to the details, and continually looking for ways to improve. This week’s five: Word of the Week: Excellence Bible Verse: Daniel 6:3 Book: The Excellence Dividend by Tom Peters TV Show: Chef’s Table Podcast: The EntreLeadership Podcast Daniel stood out because of his exceptional qualities and the way he carried himself. That same principle applies today. Excellence is often found in the small things: how you treat people, how you serve others, how well you execute, and whether you’re willing to go beyond “good enough.” This week, ask yourself one question: Whatever I’m doing, how can I do it just a little bit better? That’s excellence. Subscribe to The Jay Young Show to never miss an episode.
