No worries guys – I’m almost positive my submission (which should be up tomorrow) exceeds both of yours in length. My long-winded writing style is something I’ve been (trying) to work on. Good stuff here, from all three of you. Nice work gathering some of the best and brightest to be a part of this Jackie.

Hey at least I didn’t ask you to send it in a tweet or anything! Everyone raised great points today and I love how everyone’s kind of built off of each other’s and wasn’t too similar. Thank you sooo much to Ryan, Jason, and Grace for contributing!

@Ryan That is QUITE the task. Mine is about 200 words, so I thought I was in the ballpark Tsk tsk. I do really like how you talk about the mindset switch for people that are “great” versus good. Very good point!

@Jason I really like the business examples that you provided who portray “great” in their everyday practices.

This was a fun exercise and I really like the three-in-one posts. Great job Jackie!

I think that part of going from good to great is being able to follow directions and sticking to the specified 100-155 word limit.

Or maybe I’m just bitter I’m wedged between such thoughtful contributions. I think there’s some great insights here. I especially like Grace’s notion that there’s a small margin between good and great, and Jason’s point about doing one thing better than everyone else. I took both of these into consideration when I learned to ride the unicycle backwards yesterday.
