You’ve heard it a thousand times: build better habits, build a better life. But what if habits aren’t the real problem? In this episode, we flip the script and reveal why your standards—not your habits—determine your success. You’ll learn the subtle (but powerful) difference between doing things consistently and holding yourself to a higher level of expectation. If you’ve been stuck doing “all the right things” but not getting results, this might be the missing piece.

Tune in and find out how to raise your standards—and watch your life follow.
