6 Points of Preparation #5) Raise the Bar

Raising the bar does not mean do more curls! To raise the bar means having a mindset of continuously enhanced performance.

You have heard that most employees work just enough not to get fired while being paid just enough to keep from quitting.

Are you caught in the trap of putting in “just enough” to get through a workout?

The flaw behind a "just good enough" mindset is that if you don’t begin to push your limits you will never grow.

How you lift is how you live. Are you intense, focused, goal oriented, smart, complacent, laid back, casual, or lazy? What type of legacy will you leave behind you?

Fitness and employment are about performance. To raise the bar is to set a higher standard of performance and rise to the challenge.

True satisfaction cannot be given, it must be earned. Nothing worth having comes easy. So the next time you walk through those sliding glass doors keep in mind how you would want to be remembered, and act as if.
