SITUATION
Most people plateau because they settle.
They hit “good” and stop pushing.
They accept standards they’d never tolerate from anyone else.
And slowly, “good enough” becomes the ceiling on their life.
This week, you blow that ceiling up.
Because if you want exceptional results, “good enough” is never enough.
MISSION
Identify one area of your life where you’ve settled and raise the standard this week.
EXECUTION
a. Intent: Crush complacency and elevate your performance by refusing to tolerate “good enough” in your key areas of life or business.
b. Actions:
- Find One Area Where You’re Coasting
Fitness. Biz. Sleep. Family. Deep work.
Where have your standards slipped or stayed safe?
- Define the New Standard in Clear Terms
No vague promises.
E.g.
“Train 5x this week, minimum 45 mins.”
“No screens after 9pm.”
“Write 500 words daily.”
- Take Immediate Action to Live That Standard
Don’t wait. Put the new standard in action this week.
Lock it into your schedule. Make it public if it helps.
ENDSTATE
By refusing “good enough,” you rebuild personal trust. You transform your standards from wishes into non-negotiables. And you leave mediocrity behind.
BATTLEFIELD PHILOSOPHY
“Good is the enemy of great.”
– Jim Collins
SUSTAINMENT
a. Review your standards monthly. Upgrade them where comfort tries to creep in.
b. Keep your written list of your non-negotiables visible. Live by it.
CALL TO ACTION
Reply with the one standard you’re raising this week and how you’re proving it.
Good enough ends here.
