Some matter more than others. But joining the Circle of Excellence is one of the most important decisions you will ever make in terms of your lifes success. You will not be alone.

Every member of the Circle of Excellence is committed not only to personal advancement, but to inspire, promote, and celebrate excellence with everyone in the circle. The following plan will show you how to start on your path.
ALPHA TO OMEGA
Excellence is a quality, a standard, and the expected norm of our community which is best represented by the words Alpha to Omega. From beginning to end, first to last, and from start to finish excellence always! Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In our world it has come to signify a beginning, the first step on the path to a goal. Alpha may be a plan, an action, or intention, but without it, one can never reach any goal.

Omega is the twenty-fourth and last letter of the Greek alphabet. Reaching it means you have gone through all the steps and reached your goal. You have accomplished what you set out to do and demonstrated excellence throughout the journey. But in the Circle of Excellence, Omega does not mean the end. The reaching of one goal, frees you to set another, much more challenging goal. So, while Omega marks an accomplishment, it is the link between accomplishing one thing, and setting a new challenge. It is the link that completes and expands the circle of ever-increasing success and excellence.
CIRCLES
Excellence is a form of currency, as a commitment to excellence can help you capture true wealth and realize the inherent value of your potential. A lack of commitment devalues potential, credibility, and reputation! Gary Ryan Blair Besides plans and goals, we have other circles in our lives. We all belong to circles of people: some we dont choose, some we do. Our families, our neighbors, our schoolmates, and the people we work with are circles not of our choosing. Our friends, our loved ones, our trusted colleagues, and our dependable advisors comprise people we have chosen to be in our lives. Both types of circles always exist, but we can expand and contract them as our needs and each circles contribution toward meeting our goals changes. You have chosen to join the Circle of Excellence because it is a community of people who all are dedicated to living a life of excellence.

CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE (CoE)

What is excellence? Think of it as the process of continually growing and improving yourself and your life. Excellence entails achievement and accomplishing goals that can be measured by constantly asking the question, Are my goals today more challenging than yesterdays? Why should you want to join a circle of excellence? Because a circle is infinite. Repeating the three steps in the circle - inspire, promote, and celebrate - will lead you to ever-higher accomplishments. Inspire. Your personal goal, and that of the community, is first to Inspire. By always setting the highest standards for each of your goals, you will inspire others to believe in you. You will also be a beacon that shows those around you that striving for excellence in all of their endeavors is a noble ideal. Most people are not hard acts to follow and thats exactly why a commitment to excellence is the ultimate competitive advantage! Gary Ryan Blair Promote. The second arc in the Circle of Excellence is to Promote the goal of excellence - for yourself and for those around you. No matter how high your standards, or how often you meet those standards, you are not living a life of excellence if you do not bring others along with you. You must actively advocate for the practice of virtue, dedication, reason, and integrity in the pursuit of excellence. Celebrate. The final arc that completes the circle is to Celebrate excellence. You can inspire others and promote excellence only if others see what having high standards can bring to their lives. And why should you care if other people strive for excellence? Will they not become your competitors? No! They will become your inspiration.

As a member of the Circle of Excellence, your greatest responsibility is to define excellence in your life, then to choose the best course of action to inspire, promote and celebrate this most important virtue. Excellence is not a relative term. It is the standard by which others judge what you do, and its a form of currency that helps you both capture material wealth and realize the inherent value of your potential.
SEVEN GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Excellence is a guilty pleasure, as its respected, admired, and serves as the triumphant accomplishment of those unwilling to accept anything less than your absolute best. The following are the seven guiding principles of the Circle of Excellence. They serve as the last building blocks in starting and sustaining the construction of your ideal future. I. II. III. You must always live a virtuous life. It is not enough to just live; you must live with nobility and honor. You must always act to inspire, promote, and celebrate excellence in yourself and in others. You must always choose your actions based on good reasons and good reasoning, not of fear, self-interest, or other short-term considerations that compromise long-term opportunities.
Excellence is achieved via qualitative, not quantitative shifts in developing skills. Being part of a qualitatively different world or environment where excellence is expected and practiced is a key to achieving excellence. Gary Ryan Blair
IV. You must always seek out the truth and live with it, even if that truth is unpopular or uncomfortable. V. You must always rely on principles which stand the test of time and changes of circumstances. The conclusions you draw from them must be ones which you can be constantly faithful.
-5-
VI. You must always do the right thing and never do wrong willingly, even when others have wronged you. VII. You must always keep your promises and honor your commitments, provided that they are just. NOW that you know why you joined the Circle of Excellence, we will start you on a goal-setting plan that will help you move ever forward. You will use your own skills, knowledge, and determination to set a course for Excellence and to help your fellow members attain their goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Circle of Excellence Program is a practical, results-focused program that brings together the success secrets of high performers from all walks of life. You will have access to a collective mastermind, where youll be able to leverage the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits of others that will give you the ability to realize your vision, grown your confidence, focus on your core strengths, and create and communicate increasing value in a fast-changing world. Your active participation and willingness to constantly raise the bar, will lead you to constantly higher goals through content rich lessons, teleseminars, and an online community. You will also have access to other members of the Circle of Excellence who will be committed to helping you reach your zenith of achievement. You will have the opportunity to share your knowledge, skills, and talents with others to help them reach their goals - thereby continuing the Circle of Excellence.
Being world-class has nothing to do with size, education, or bloodline; it has everything to do with decision, commitment, action, and persistence. Gary Ryan Blair

Following are just some of the principled-centered lessons you will have access to as a member of the Circle of Excellence. By mastering one principle at a time, you will build a stairway to higher and higher attainment.
Excellence - The Principle of High Standards

Each of us must determine the specific achievements we must accomplish in order to deem our own life excellent. Your responsibilities include choosing a career path, deciding what beliefs to adhere to, what to learn and apply in life, and what actions to take. You can help yourself with these responsibilities by consistently asking one simple question: How are your thoughts and actions reflective of a life committed to excellence?
Discipline - The Principle of Enforcement

Your life is going to serve as either a warning or as an example. A warning of the consequences of neglect, self-pity, poor character, lack of direction and ambition ... or an example of talent put to use, of discipline self-imposed, and of objectives clearly perceived and intensely pursued. Self-respect grows directly from discipline. Therefore, apply discipline in all the right places and become the example you wish others to emulate.
Excellence is a destination for anyone who appreciates, respects, and demonstrates hard work and good judgment. Gary Ryan Blair
Commitment - The Principle of Follow Through

Commitments present themselves in delineations of black and white. You either honor your commitments or you dont. Success is the result of making and keeping commitments to yourself and others, while all failed or unfinished goals, projects and relationships are the direct result of broken commitments. Its that simple, that profound, and that important.
-7-
Contribution - The Principle of Service

The focus on contribution places a premium on responsibility. As the key driver of effectiveness, our contributions to others allow us to do well by doing good. This is only accomplished by looking outward from our workload and upward towards more noble goals and objectives.
Gratitude - The Principle of Appreciation

Its quite possible to attain great wealth, the best education, and an exceptional quality of life and still be unhappy. This occurs when people live with an absence of gratitude. Success is a process that includes both peaks and valleys, but the one constant in a truly successful life is gratitude.
Consistency - The Principle of Dependability

Success requires that there be consistency in our behaviors and in how we apply these behaviors. Success in any endeavor also requires a consistency between our standards and our actions, as well as among our inner desires. Finally, success requires that there be consistency between how we treat ourselves and how we treat others.
Your greatest responsibility is to define excellence in your life, then to choose the best course of action to make it happen. Gary Ryan Blair
Quality - The Principle of Greatness

Quality is only achieved through continuous improvement and performance excellence to ensure the highest standards of our products, services, processes and technology. If you have any plans on being competitive, then quality in the broadest sense of the term must become an obsession. Dynamic, sustainable results will only be achieved through an obsession with quality.
-8-
Ethics - The Principle of Honor

We must individually and collectively elevate ourselves above the lying, cheating and abuse so readily accepted in our society. The notion that nice guys or gals finish last is not the lesson we want to be passing on to future generations. Ethics and values demonstrate whats right with the world, and they need to be appreciated, celebrated, and emulated.
Passion - The Principle of Power

Whether the issue pertains to growing sales, adding greater value, focusing on key result areas, embracing change, attracting talent, or raising our own performance, passion is one of the great differentiators as it fosters commitment and determination. Passion reflects confidence, spreads good cheer, raises morale, inspires associates, arouses loyalty, and laughs at adversity.
Failure - The Principle of Perspective

People are naive about the benefits of failure. Wrongly founded assumptions about failure replace potentially accurate assessments of what is necessary to achieve success. Failure, which spends much of its life in the gulag of public perception, is, by all measures, essential to success.
Excellence is not a relative term; it is the standard by which you must judge what you do! Gary Ryan Blair
Networking - The Principle of Social Capital

Have you ever wondered why some people are more successful than others at getting bigger promotions, better deals, more sales or just living a better life? This is especially frustrating if you feel you are better qualified, have more skills, or offer a far superior product. Often these successful people are explained away as simply being lucky or in the right place at the right time. In most cases, its their networking skills.
-9-
Vision - The Principle of Clarity

Vision is the capacity to see the invisible that inspires us to do the impossible. If compelling, that vision can change your life, family, business, community and humanity. In fact, its the only thing that ever has. Throughout history, great accomplishments have begun with the vision of a single individual. Usually there is a conclusion at the end of a message. But the Circle of Excellence is committed to continuing improvement. So learning about these principles, about the commitment to Inspire, Promote, and Celebrate excellence is the beginning of your journey to everincreasing success. You have chosen your path wisely, and you have already started on that path. By understanding the Circle of Excellence; by identifying the Alpha and Omega of each goal; by understanding how the omega is not the end alone, but also the beginning of a new goal building toward greater excellence; and by adhering to the Seven Guiding Principles, you will lead a life of excellence. It gives me great personal pleasure to welcome you to the Circle of Excellence, a community of people who are committed to living a life of excellence and displaying exceptionably high standards. Everything Counts! Gary Ryan Blair
Anything less than a commitment to excellence is a compromise of talent, quality and standards, which results in mediocrity. Gary Ryan Blair
