Raising the Necessity of Performance

High performers elevate their sense of necessity regarding performance, motivating themselves through a strong connection to their personal 'why.' This drive often combines internal standards—such as self-expectations and values—with external obligations, which gives them a compelling reason to excel. For example, an athlete who competes for family or community pride is likely to perform at higher levels compared to one who lacks such motivation. By continually reaffirming their reasons, high achievers cultivate an environment where performance is not only desired but essential, leading to greater achievement in their goals.
