Are Your Employees Giving Their Personal Best?

Many of us tend to go around just doing what is expected of us, at work, home etc. But is this your Personal Best? Are you being a good mum, dad, sister, friend, employee, director, leader, CEO or are you being a GREAT one?

You can get away with being ok or good but why not raise your bar to excellence? We believe we are all put on this earth for a purpose and so if you don't allow yourself to shine and be the best you can be, you're not going to fulfill your purpose in life and simply leave it unfulfilled. So if you're looking for fulfillment why not commit to being the very best you can be?

Personal best in sports are often referred to as PB's and I LOVE THEM! I'm always going for PB's in my exercising and training and apply this to all other areas of my life too. Ask yourself - Am I being the best person I can be in my job? The best friend, partner, granddaughter? Being able to say YES to these questions and only you know if you are being honest in your answer gives you a wonderful feeling. There is no looking back with regret of I could have done this better.

You're the only one who really knows if you're being the best, and this is why you must set your own standards everyday in every way. And when you're not doing what you know you should or could do in relation to your best this can be the underlying cause of your frustrations.

Here are some tips for you and your employees on how to be your personal best everyday both at work and at home:

• First you must get up this way - get out of bed with a great attitude!
• Give to others freely without expecting anything in return.
• If you feel you're not being the best you can be in one or more areas of your life ask yourself why not?
• What's missing from you being your personal best? Find these things out and work on them. If its sports do you need an extra session, a day off, work on your endurance or technique? If its relationships are you giving it enough time, do you have quality time and are you thinking of how the other person is feeling?
• Keep asking yourself – Is this my best or can I do better? What's holding me back really? Are you just being lazy, selfish.. or do you need some help?
• Set goals and know exactly what it is that you want to achieve. If you don't know it it's hard to then get to it or be able to celebrate once you have.
• Raise your bar to personal excellence it's the greatest feeling!
• When you give more, you do more and more I mean can also be more sleep and R&R!
• You can't be your best if you're out of balance.
• You create an inner knowing that if this was your last day on earth or one of your loved ones you know you have been your best regardless of what anyone else thinks, says or expected – You did your best and if you're doing your best, really doing it with no excuses then you can't ask for much more than that!
• Ask yourself - Am I living my PB today?
