Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. ~ Aristotle

Excellence is something that we all strive to achieve not only because we want to impress our bosses but also because we want to outdo ourselves.
In one way or the other, we are all perfectionists.
We all want to reach the top.
To reach the top though, one must undergo training.
Excruciating training.
Training is essential and serves as a stepping stone that will help an individual reach his/her goal. And as the pursuit for excellence encompasses all professions, SEO virtual assistants also strive to be excellent in their craft.
