Episode 08: How to Avoid Bare Minimum Syndrome
This is the last episode of the Back to the Basics Series and I hope you’ve enjoyed it. In today’s episode, I’m discussing what I like to call the “Bare Minimum Syndrome”. No, this isn’t an actual illness, but it can cripple the results that you’re expecting on your job.
Here are the 4 ways to avoid doing the bare minimum:
- Understand that it’s not (just) about you.
- Be honest about why you aren’t doing more.
- Avoid procrastination.
- Keep your focus.

I also spoke a bit about focus and lack thereof. An amazing resource that has helped me stay on track of my focus is the book The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.
