Teaching those to achieve or how to strive for recognition.

As I was filling the coffee maker with water moments ago, I was thinking to myself what it means to strive for excellence.  Bux-Mont Awards recognizes achievements.  Its one of the main things we do, in addition to brand recognition and engraving signage (another type of recognition) and we take pride in doing it well.

When you look at it though, it's hard to answer the question why do people strive to achieve?  What is it inside those type a personalities that tend to work for satisfaction and achieve to be recognized?  Some companies are good at recognizing achievements, they usually have a few great managers who know what it means to praise someone for the work they do, even the most menial of tasks.  As they say someones gotta do it.

But what happened to those that go above and beyond because they take pride in what they do and they want to be recognized for and associated with a superior work ethic and an overall willingness to press on and achieve.

These people walls are filled with plaques and certificates of achievement, and their numbers in organizations often times are indicative of that businesses success (or lack thereof).

The Phillies Roy Halladay and when he was recognized by the club and gave Carlos Ruiz, his catcher, that custom ring, I couldn't help but think, they understand how valuable that is.  They get it.

So I am very much looking for some answers to the question how do you make someone strive to achieve in the comments, so please leave your thoughts.  I am thinking its got something to do with the environment they grew up in, but lets start a conversation.

November means...

I know, I know, I don't want to think about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday let alone Christmas.

AFL Seasons Over, but there is still Pro Indoor Football to be played!

The US Indoor Football League , or USIFL is a Professional Indoor Football League whose goal is to improve upon the industries "Thug" reputation and provide a high quality of play, performance and entertainment at a fair price. Providing true, family-friendly entertainment, the USIFL is reaching new heights with more teams and more excitement. The Lehigh Valley Outlawz are looking to establish themselves moreso since they are freshman to this league. With the Arena Football League season over before it begins, the UNIFL is the ONLY indoor league which will embrace former AFL players The 2009 season kicks off with the NE Surge at Lehigh Valley Outlawz on March 22 in a fully televised contest. Being thankful the Soul won it all in the AFL last year and sad that we won't be able to see them try to repeat this season, I am excited to take the family to a couple of inexpensive nights out in the Lehigh Valley. The drive from Bucks County isn't as long as the ride to Phi...

Always learning

While some were consolidating to maintain their bottom lines and stay afloat in the recent tumultuous economic conditions we tried investing.  And while we didn't have much money to invest, our bank (with the gracious help of the Small Business Administration), thought enough of our business and our goals to fund an acquisition of a retiring engravers business in Lansdale.
