As coaches, entrepreneurs, and leaders know all too well, it’s frightfully easy to spread yourself too thin and hurl yourself towards increasingly impossible standards. But peak performance is a matter of focus and choice. It’s important to decide which bars need to be kept high, and which ones can be just as useful and powerful at a lower height.

In attempting to provide the guidance that someone needs most, you have to learn at least a little something about what’s currently driving them. Finding wisdom once again in a lovely quote, I’ve been pondering the truth of this: “Pain pushes until the vision pulls.”

This is actually inspired by a movie called Boiler Room. In it, there’s a speech delivered by - of all people - Ben Affleck that manages to be both a little hilarious and surprisingly insightful (this is with the benefits of hindsight, of course).He begins by telling his audience of “recruits” all they can expect to gain and all he’s accomplished and acquired himself in the process of doing the job they’re all about to begin. Then, he pivots with this line:“Now you know what’s possible, let me tell you what’s required.”

This is a little something I first encountered courtesy of The Tim Ferriss Show, which remains an almost must-listen on most episodes, despite their length.Often, when we frame the value or worth of a task or a job or a responsibility, we set it within the context of how difficult it will be. And while hard work has never been something I’ve shied away from (I imagine many of you are the same), I’ve come to understand that it’s always worth asking, “What would this look like if it were easy?”
