Set The Bar (Even) Higher

December 26, 2013 by Marc Guberti 5 Comments

I'm happy to see you around. You may want to subscribe to my blog. Thanks for visiting!

Welcome back! I am so happy to see that you have come back for more.

When most people think about giving themselves goals, they give themselves the easiest goals imaginable. The goals may be, “writing 1 blog post every week that is only 100 words,” or something similar. While it is good that progress is being made, it is easily possible to make more progress. In order to make more progress, you need to set the bar higher.

When people think of setting the bar higher, they quickly think of reasons why the bar is already set as high as possible. There is no limit to how high any bar can be set. If a bar is set at 14.6 feet, know that it can also go to 15 feet. The bar can keep on going higher and higher.

As you set the bar higher and higher for yourself, you will be giving yourself challenging goals. However, when those goals get accomplished, you will see the results. You will be able to do something far better than ever before. You will be able to break records, be very productive, and ultimately be better off.

Setting the bar high requires work on your part. After that work gets done, you will have the prize: a new record, incredible productivity, a big increase in traffic, a lot of sales for your new product, or something else.

    True raising the bar in our lives is key in catapulting ourselves to greatness. As we ascend in proficiency, excellence and results attainments. Since, our effectiveness and efficiency in any area of life is consummerate to the height of the goals and visions we set and want to reach. Hence, raising one’s bar in life is essential in propelling him/her to dizzy heights of success, wealth and influence and in making one a yardstick of success and excellence in their niche as a market leader.

      I couldn’t agree more. Raising the bar higher is not something to be done once. We need to constantly raise our bars for the rest of our lives. Never let the bar go down, but always push it up.

    Great post. I’ve always been thinking the same way. The higher we set our goals, the higher we’re going to aim and higher could be our results. I know a lot of people around me, that set their goals to low, because of the economy, possibilities, lack of vision, etc.

    Hi Marc, thank you so much for finding and following me. Your article is very true and a good point. I just joined Twitter but have already had myself throwing the bar way up! I started 2 weeks ago with a goal of 2 new followers daily or approx. 730 in the year. Then 100 a month or 1,200 a year. Now after my first two weeks of being the new guy I’m at 145 with over 50 new followers since last night! So my current goal is 10,000 in the first year but maybe 15 – 20,000 will be the closer to my final landing point.

    Life is all about pushing our personal goals. I’m very proud of you at 16 to be having the impact you are having! At 16/17 I was tutoring mathematics at a University and got some weird looks, but also a lot of support. It seems you must have a good personal network with all that you are accomplishing! I’m rooting for you, have followed back and will be in touch. Take care!
