Introduction
Most people spend their entire lives chasing money. They look at every opportunity, every job, and every business decision through the lens of
“How much can I make from this?”
But here’s the truth. Money never rewards the people who chase it directly. Money has an incredible way of finding excellence.
Why you should chase excellence, not money
Excellence is about mastery. It’s about committing yourself to learn everything about your craft, industry, or skill—until you become so good that people can’t ignore you.
When you chase money, you cut corners. You look for shortcuts. You do just enough to get paid. But when you chase excellence, you set yourself apart. You build credibility, trust, and authority.
And the amazing part?
Money follows excellence automatically.
The power of intellectual curiosity
Excellence doesn’t come overnight. It’s fueled by curiosity.
- Are you curious enough to understand how your industry really works?
- Are you willing to go deeper than the average person?
- Do you push yourself to become the smartest person in the room?
That intellectual curiosity of asking questions, learning relentlessly, and mastering the details is what transforms you from being “just another professional” into someone truly exceptional.
Excellence creates long-term rewards
Money can give you short-term wins, but excellence gives you compounding rewards:
- People seek you out for your expertise.
- Clients trust you more than your competitors.
- Opportunities come your way without you chasing them.
- You build a reputation that lasts.
Food for thought
Ask yourself this: Have you truly mastered your craft yet?
If not, stop chasing money. Start chasing excellence. Because once you become the best at what you do, money—and every other reward—will chase you.
