Manufacturing Excellence - Why do you think very few people strive for excellence in their personal and professional life?

Children smile about 400 times a day; Adults only smile 15 times a day. Ever wonder why? Children think about what they want to do every single day but somehow in the process of growing up we give up on the idea of living a conscious life. I know from my own experience that it is never too late to become who you are meant to be.

The tagline of my business is "Manufacturing Effectiveness - Excellence is not a skill. It's an attitude." 

However, I cannot help but wonder how you would be able to create excellence in your work environment if you don't live and breathe it in your own life?

One of the universal principles is "how you do anything is how you do everything".

What are some of your unconventional insights?
