If you want to level up your life, you have to set the bar high.
But when you raise your standards, you run the risk of being disappointed when others don’t live up to those expectations.
So, how do you challenge yourself and the people you’re leading to aim high—without letting it steal your joy if they fall short?
On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re exploring Tony Robbins’ idea that if you want to change your life, you have to raise your standards. We explain how you teach people how to treat you based on what you’re willing to tolerate and discuss how to make decisions based on where you want to go and then build your standards around that vision.
We weigh in on why you don’t have to feel bad for refusing to accept less than you deserve, describing how to set boundaries based on the avatar you have defined for that particular area of your life. Listen in for insight around what to do when people fail to meet your expectations and learn how to accept people for who they are—without apologizing for your own high standards.
