I’ve gotten some feedback from those coming to my NLP blog to “learn NLP” and they question why every post isn’t directly about “Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).”

I want to invite you to explore how every post is. Well almost every.

NLP isn’t about learning NLP. It’s about the modeling of excellence, the attitude of curiosity and discovery that comes from that and hopefully techniques that can stem from what you learn. This is why I refer books, videos to watch or people to model from time to time; so you can put your NLP to good use and model excellence. Then, hopefully, you can replicate it and help others create it for themselves.

Business strategist (and bestselling author) Tom Peters has written a new book called “The Little Big Things.” It’s a book on pursuing excellence, but it’s really a compilation of what Tom has learned (or picked up as useful) over the years as it relates to what excellence means in terms of concept, principles and corresponding behaviors.

If improving and excellence is important to you (or your company), please get in your car, drive to the bookstore and buy it. Don’t wait to order it online. I’m advising this and I’m not even finished reading all of it -- it’s a BIG book. On not so little things.

It’s easy to read, but will take up the ink of two highlighters and a pen that you’ll use to mark it up with notes and ideas it gives you.

Here’s a video to give you a sample of the attitude (and important things) in the book. Tom shares how implementing a strategy to “Be Extraordinary” is a whole lot better than a “ho-hum” strategy, which is actually worse than awful.

Visit Tom Peters at www.tompeters.com and read all of his books -- It’s been a (VERY) smart business decision for me (and countless others) over the years.
