Episode notes
Set Unreasonably High Standards
- Setting unreasonably high standards creates a clear bar that prevents settling for mediocre jobs, relationships, or results.
- Julie Gurner uses examples like aiming for six figures two years after college or $5M business targets to illustrate the mindset shift.
Work To Targets Not Just Budget
- Work to a target, not just to budget; set stretch goals that create urgency, reward, and growth.
- Colin Campbell contrasts ‘budget’ (minimum) with ‘target’ (stretch) to explain why attainable targets remove energy to improve.
Pick Few Pillars And Go Deep
- Choose a few priority pillars (e.g., business, family, health) and apply exceptionally high standards there while accepting trade-offs elsewhere.
- Julie recommends depth over breadth so other areas can be 'as good as you can' without perfection.
