There’s a scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming that lives rent-free in my head. Spider-Man is trying (and failing) to interrogate a criminal. The dude looks at him and says, “You gotta get better at this part of the job.” That dude? Played by Donald Glover,  you might know him better as Childish Gambino.

That line hits harder than Peter Parker’s punch. And honestly? It’s a word for entrepreneurs.

There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t feel like a level up is needed. Not one. There’s always something I can improve,  and that ain’t a bad thing. It just means I’m aware. I could talk about a lot of areas, but let me be real:

I could be better at blogging. Like, actually understanding how Google works so that the time I spend writing hits the people it’s meant to hit. That’s the goal, right? Reach who you were sent to reach.

I could be more consistent with my podcast , staying on course with the topics I said I was gonna talk about. Not just what’s trending or easy. Nah, I gotta stay locked in.

And don’t get me started on coaching. I love it. I’m good at it. But even in that space, I can prepare more. Sharpen more. Be more intentional with every call.

It’s not that I’m bad at this… I just know I can be better.

Excellence over perfection. Every time. Because perfection paralyzes,  but excellence keeps you moving.

So I ask you… Is there a part of the job you need to get better at?

Here I am, getting ready to record content tomorrow. I’ve got an amazing outline. Strong points. Clear thoughts. But I’m still wrestling with how to transfer that outline from my head to the mic,  in my voice,  with flow.

And guess what?

That’s another part of the job I gotta get better at. That transference from idea to execution. From paper to performance. From concept to clarity.

But awareness is the first step. Execution is next.

Takeaways:

1. Awareness is a superpower. You can’t grow in an area you won’t acknowledge needs growth. Be real with yourself.

2. Good enough ain’t great. Just because you’re decent at something doesn’t mean you don’t have room to improve. Go for excellence.

3. Every level requires a better you. Whether it’s content, coaching, communication, or consistency,  get better at this part of the job. Then do it again at the next level.
