TOPICS MENTIONED: Excellence Ownership Systems  THOUGHTS FROM LUANN: If you make the decision to start a firm, make the further decision to be accountable to make it great. LuAnn’s tagline is Excellence is a decision. It is understanding the power of deciding it is my choice and it is up to me. Barriers and/or Challenges to excellence can be confidence, accountability and owning it. If you aren’t taking credit for what is broken, how can you be a part of the solution? Systems to be successful are everything. If you don’t have a system, you have a ‘you’ not a business. A system makes your business sellable. The systems are the things that keep you going when the going gets tough. Excellence can mean repeatability. Working in alignment with who you are and what you believe is critical. It is difficult to work out of alignment.
