Key Takeaways

1. Set high standards. Demanding greatness from yourself starts with setting high standards. Don’t settle for mediocrity—aim for excellence in everything you do.

Set High Standards

Greatness starts with the standards you set for yourself. If you aim low, you’ll achieve mediocrity at best. But when you set high standards and refuse to settle for anything less, you push yourself to reach new heights. Whether it’s in your career, personal life, or daily habits, demanding excellence means consistently striving to be better than you were yesterday. Don’t just aim to meet expectations—aim to exceed them.

Push Past Your Limits

Growth and greatness are found beyond the limits you think you have. When you demand greatness from yourself, you push past the boundaries of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to take on new, difficult tasks. It’s in these moments of pushing through resistance that true growth happens. Every time you push past your limits, you expand your capabilities and move closer to achieving your full potential.

Hold Yourself Accountable

It’s one thing to set high standards; it’s another to hold yourself accountable to them. Demanding greatness requires regular self-assessment and accountability. Are you meeting the standards you’ve set for yourself? If not, what adjustments do you need to make? Holding yourself accountable ensures that you stay on track and continue to strive for excellence. It’s about being honest with yourself and making the necessary changes to keep moving forward.
