What does it truly mean to be a high performer?

For many, the term conjures images of relentless grind, hyper-focus, and a life that lacks sustainability and joy. In this episode, David and Nick challenge this outdated paradigm and introduce a new definition of high performance, viewed through the lens of Aligned Living.

Discover why the traditional model of pushing harder often leads to burnout and unfulfilling achievements. The Aligned Living approach isn't about chasing external goals; it's about setting a high internal bar for your own alignment and creating from that space. Learn how to trade the grind for flow, make self-love a core performance metric, and build a life of sustainable, fulfilling success.

Plus, get the details on David's upcoming free masterclass on this exact topic!

In This Episode, You'll Hear About:

• The cultural view of high performance as "grind" and why it lacks sustainability.
• How Aligned Living serves as a next-level high performance tool that prioritizes flow over force.
• The key to this new paradigm: setting a high bar for your own alignment, which ensures you create outcomes you actually want and feel fulfilled by.
• Why true high performers need to know when to hit the gas, when to let ideas percolate, and when to step back and rejuvenate.
• The essential role of self-love and self-trust in creating sustainable success, contrary to the "grind" mentality.
• The paradox of the "accidental millionaire"—individuals who achieve great success but are unhappy and unfulfilled because it wasn't tied to purpose or self-trust.
• How many successful entrepreneurs, after achieving their goals through grind, ultimately hire a CEO to disengage from the part of their business that no longer resonates.
