Standards Decide Outcomes
Most people focus on goals.
Very few people focus on standards.
Goals are occasional.
Standards are daily.
Goals are something you hit once.
Standards are how you live.
If your standard is average effort, average preparation, average discipline, average consistency, you will get average results no matter what your goals are.
If your standard is preparation, discipline, finishing what you start, showing up early, doing hard things, and executing consistently, the results take care of themselves.
Raise your standards and your life changes automatically.
Standards decide outcomes.

Most People Quit Too Early
A lot of failure is not inability. It is impatience. Most people quit right before things start working.
