Everything you do, say or think has flow-on consequences. It either advances you in the direction of your dreams or makes you retreat a little. Therefore, you can and should sweat the small stuff because in the final analysis, everything counts. This is what can be termed “The Golden Rule of Excellence”.

Summary of Everything Counts (Gary Blair)
Professional Strategies
1. Every detail counts – the magic of any exceptional performance is always found in the smallest details
The hallmark of any exceptional performance is attention is paid to every last detail. To deliver a quality product or experience, you simply have to do the little things correctly. Even small differences, when amplified over hundreds or thousands of copies, can produce notably superior results.
“Excellence in any endeavor is a production in which every little detail tells a story about one’s intentions, commitment and character. Pay attention to the small stuff. Consistent attention to fine points produces excellence – that’s why every detail counts!”
– Gary Blair
2. Commitment counts – because it strengthens your credibility and your reputation
Long-term success is the cumulative result of honoring your commitments both to yourself and to others. The most successful people in any field are not necessarily those with the most talent but those who have the deepest reservoir of commitment. When you honor your commitments without question or deviation, you become a man or a woman on your word. You also demonstrate that you have faith in your own abilities.
“Commitment inspires you to perform to the best of your abilities. It protects and strengthens your credibility and reputations with yourself and with others. It provides you with passionate energy and unstoppable momentum, and fills you with a sense of pride that’s priceless. Commitment counts!”
– Gary Blair
3. Leadership counts – since all great leaders have unimpeachable ethics and behaviors
Leaders don’t necessarily have to be charismatic, brilliant or even charming. You can hire people to provide any organization with those attributes. What can’t be purchased, however, is courage, decency, honor or the guidance of a strong moral compass – or to sum it up in one word, character. Great leaders have character and they exist to protect their organization’s core beliefs, to inspire hope and to drive positive results for all.
Character is proven day-in and day-out by the way you respond to challenges. If you have a strong character, you will always act ethically and in ways which are consistent with your core values and beliefs. You will do things which are good for your organization as a whole. You’ll be a strong role model others will want to follow and trust because of your personal ethics. And above all, you’ll keep in mind a good leader is a caretaker who leaves the organization in better shape than it was when he or she became involved.
“Leaders who possess good character are those who, through repeated good acts, achieve an appropriate balance of the virtues in his life. Therefore, like a successful athlete, the virtuous person plays a consistently good game. As Aristotle rightly noted, ‘we are what we repeatedly do’.”
– Gary Blair
