You say you want success.
But you tolerate behavior that guarantees failure.
You say fitness matters.
But you skip workouts three times a week.
You say your business is a priority.
But you waste hours scrolling every day.
You say you're serious about growth.
But you're not doing the work that creates it.
That's the standards problem.
The gap between what you say you want and what you're willing to accept.
And that gap is why you're stuck.
Here's what most people don't realize:
Tech moves fast, but you're still playing catch-up?
That's exactly why 200K+ engineers working at Google, Meta, and Apple read The Code twice a week.
Here's what you get:
Curated tech news that shapes your career - Filtered from thousands of sources so you know what's coming 6 months early.
Practical resources you can use immediately - Real tutorials and tools that solve actual engineering problems.
Research papers and insights decoded - We break down complex tech so you understand what matters.
All delivered twice a week in just 2 short emails.
You get what you tolerate.
If you tolerate mediocrity that's what you'll get.
If you tolerate inconsistency that's what you'll be.
If you tolerate excuses that's what you'll make.
Your results are a direct reflection of your standards.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
So if you're not getting the results you want look at what you're tolerating.
That's the problem.
Not your circumstances. Not your resources. Not your luck.
Your standards.
Here's the shift:
Raise them.
Stop tolerating the things that keep you stuck.
If you say fitness matters stop tolerating missed workouts.
If you say your business matters stop tolerating wasted days.
If you say discipline matters stop tolerating excuses.
Raise the bar.
Then hold yourself to it.
No exceptions. No negotiations. No justifications.
Because the moment you start making exceptions your standards aren't standards.
They're suggestions.
And suggestions don't create results.
Standards do.
So here's what you need to do:
Look at your results right now.
Then ask yourself what behavior you're tolerating that creates those results.
Then stop tolerating it.
Raise the standard.
And watch everything change.
Not because you worked harder.
Because you stopped accepting less than what you said you wanted.
Talk soon, Dyl - Founder of Relentlece.
P.S. What are you tolerating right now that you shouldn't be? Cut it today. Raise the standard.

AI Alone Can’t Run Revenue
Finance doesn’t run on “mostly right.” It runs on math.
