Simply the best

Tina Turner was on to something when she sang "Simply the best, better than all the rest". My dad always said "Whatever you decide to do you should do it to the best of your ability." Whether this is making the best coffee in the suburb or writing the best blog on nuclear physics the prinicple is the same. Seth Godin is widely recognised as having the best marketing blog. When recently asked why he didn't use Twitter he responded that it would distract him from having the best blog. He knows what he is good at and where to concentrate his efforts.

Warren Buffett is the World's best investor. He is so successful that he is commonly referred to as the Oracle of Omaha. Tiger Woods is the World's best golfer. The common link of all three is a drive and determination to do their best. They also concentrate all their efforts on what they are good at.

They are single minded in their objectives however they use their influential status and sometimes wealth to help others who are not so fortunate. Woods even took some time out to give the other golfers a chance...

Welcome back Tiger


Whatever it is you do do it to the best of your ability and know what your strengths are. Being number 1 is simply the best.

Are you generous?

Being generous doesn't have to cost you money. It is a state of mind or approach to life rather than a one off event.

Marketing guru Seth Godin gives his time and knowledge to help others advance in the Worlds or marketing and business.

American billionaire Mark Cuban has also taken time to present an amazing opportunity to potential entrepreneurs. Present him with a business plan and subject to certain criteria he will fund it. No maximum, no minimum. There are plenty of sceptics on the site however he is taking the time to answer them all and hopefully help someone realise their dreams.
