STRONG Life Podcast ep 570 🎙️ "Good Enough Is the Death of Greatness" Brought to you by The SSPC Cert. Get Certified at http://SSPCoach.com My NEW book, IRON Journeys II is LIVE - Get it HERE ======= In this episode of the STRONG Life Podcast I get into The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence, not just as a Strength Coach but in ANY career, ANY job, ANY craft. Good enough is the death of greatness -  I have been saying this for a LONG time. I've had this quote painted on my gym wall and it's on my mind constantly. I see it everywhere. Too many people punching the clock. Not enough people digging deep to actually learn their craft, sharpen their skills and chase mastery. Here is what I cover in this episode: Why the Relentless Pursuit of Excellence separates the average from the elite, in coaching and in life How Good Enough became the standard and why that is killing potential in entire industries The difference between punching the clock and truly digging in to learn How some organizations actually PUNISH people for pushing toward Greatness instead of rewarding them Why settling is a choice, and why most people choose it without realizing it What it actually takes to build the Mindset of someone who refuses to be average   If you are a Coach, an Athlete, a Business Owner or anyone who refuses to settle for mediocrity, this episode is for you.
