Master Steve Magness's 'Raise the Floor' philosophy for hard things

Discover how setting realistic minimum standards creates more success than heroic efforts, providing sustainable momentum toward your biggest goals.

Calculate your personal standard using the averaging method

Learn to find realistic baselines from your recent performance history rather than judging yourself by occasional peak moments.

Practice progressive floor-raising for gradual scaling to new heights

Master the art of sustainable improvement by strategically elevating your standards only after consistency becomes effortless.

Your Sustainable Success Journey

1. Assess True Capacity

Calculate realistic performance averages and set minimum expectations based on what you can consistently achieve, not occasional breakthroughs.

2. Build Consistent Standards

Focus on consistency over intensity to establish sustainable momentum that doesn't lead to burnout or discouragement cycles.

3. Progress Through Patience

Gradually raise your standards only after current levels feel easy, creating compound growth rather than boom-bust patterns.
