Rise your standards, Transform your lifeBy Andy ZapataLength4h 12m
About this audiobook
The Standard is a practical, no-excuses guide to upgrading the invisible rules that run your life. In this book, Andy Zapata reveals a hard truth most people avoid: you don’t rise to your goals—you fall to your standards. Goals tell you where you want to go, but standards determine what you will tolerate, what you will refuse, and who you become under pressure. And habits are the daily actions that prove those standards are real.
Blending raw personal experiencefrom a tough upbringing and a life shaped by survival standards—to building businesses, leading teams, and learning from mentors and high performers, Andy shows how the most successful people aren’t separated by talent; they’re separated by what they accept as “normal.” You’ll learn how to identify the standards you inherited from family, culture, and environment, break the patterns that keep you stuck, and replace them with clear, enforceable standards that elevate your time, health, money, relationships, leadership, & faith
