In the blog post: “Lessons Learned from Donald Trump – Lesson #1, we discussed the importance of business tempo.
In Lesson #2, the focus was being positive, and that we should discover and live our lives with purpose.
Our new lesson is to “Set the Standard”.
Consider Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Freedom is not the right to live as we please, but the right to find how we ought to live in order to fulfill our potential”.
We’ve learned the importance of being agile in the business world and being positive from the inside-out, but an organization’s leadership should be setting the standard of getting things done in a timely and positive manner. They are the ones who set the standards for performance and the methods used to achieve that performance.
How are you getting in, getting it done, getting it right, and getting out? Have you set your own standards? Have you acknowledged your own value? Have you remained positive from the insight out?
We welcome your thoughts and experiences in the Comments section below. Let us know how "Setting the Standard" has helped you head in the right direction.

- Trump talks about how he attracts people.
He surrounds himself with others who have the same work ethic. He says that the people who work with him not only enjoy the daily challenges, but they set their own standards to meet those challenges, and those standards, and patterns of thinking, match his. They have a common ground objective of accomplishing more.
- Think BIG.
Trump tells us that you need a combination of vision, courage, and discipline to realize the possibilities and that if you think too small, you might miss them. He encourages us to learn to think big. Are you thinking big? What standard would you like to be known for? Only you can set that standard for yourself. The best way to do a job is living by this standard; “Get in, get it done, get it done right, and get out”.
- What do you have to offer?
What is your creative capital? What have you acquired in your experience that makes you valuable? Are you aware of your own potential? Will you be equipped to make a difference when the time comes for you to step forward? Start thinking along these lines and your worth will have already been multiplied!
