176 How to Close the Gap Between Your Potential and Performance | Craig Harper

You know that quiet thought you have sometimes: I’m capable of more than this. Not more ideas. Not more knowledge. Just… more execution.That gap between what you know you could do and what you actually do? That’s where most people live. And it’s costing you energy, confidence, results.Craig Harper has spent decades watching high performers wrestle with this exact tension. The ones who move forward aren’t the most talented - they’re the ones willing to do what others avoid: discomfort, repetition, honest self-reflection.This is a reset on how you think about effort, potential, and what it really takes to perform - consistently, not occasionally.If you’re tired of hovering at 60–70% in your work, your health, or your life, this will challenge you in the best way. Because transformation doesn’t live in what you know. It lives in what you’re willing to do.In this episode Andrew and Harps talk about:1:30 Why Craig is fascinated by the topic of the performance capacity gap and  Criag’s life path from being a teenager to where he is now.12:05 Embracing your fear to overcome your limits and recognising your own self awareness to become your best self.22:30 Craig’s tips to building a better you inside and out and why you can’t just play with theory all your life.32:00 Understanding your own mind may be the biggest challenge you can face and as Socrates says “the beginning of wisdom is to know thyself”.42:00 Why Craig feels better in many aspects of his life now than when he was in his 30s and having a lack of confidence in yourself can be crippling.51:00 What do you say to yourself when you wake up everyday and why Craig doesn’t want everything in his life to be a 10/10.You can find Craig at his website:https://craigharper.net/At his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/craiganthonyharper/Listen to The You Project:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-you-project/id1342430567 Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?
