Jim Collin’s written an entire book to tackle this question. I doubt we’ll ever find an ultimate answer or even a set of answers.
But by keeping this question at the front of our mind when we set out to achieve big things, we can bring our best self and best work to life every day.
How do we turn good into great? How do we turn ourselves from good to great?
Sometimes it’s about simplifying.
Sometimes it’s about adding more details.
Sometimes it’s about adding colours.
Sometimes it’s about looking at the big picture.
Sometimes it’s about zooming in.
Sometimes it’s about a change of perspective.
Sometimes it’s about bringing others to help.
If it’s not clear at first, ask again.
If the first attempt doesn’t work, try again.
Every great adventure starts with good planning. Remember to enjoy it – that might just be the ultimate secret to a great life.
WHAT’S GOOD?
Something that met our expectations.
Something we’d like to experience again.
Something that gave us peace of mind.
WHAT’S GREAT?
Something that exceeded our expectations.
Something we can’t wait to share with others.
Something that gave us a spark of inspiration.
