When Good Is Not Enough

Striving for Greatness and Beyond

In the lexicon of human behaviour and achievement, there exists a spectrum that ranges from the good, through the great, and ultimately, to the greatest. The journey along this continuum is often characterised and measured by talent, perseverance, and a unique blend of personal qualities. But what distinguishes individuals in sports, business, music, and the arts from merely being good to achieving greatness or even ascending to the status of the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time)? When the esteemed Mind Coach Leslie Fairclough, is in your team he will guide and empower individuals and teams to take the transformative steps from good to great, and ultimately to the pinnacle of their chosen fields?

The Realm of the Good:

Good individuals may find themselves at a crossroads between natural ability, untapped potential and contentment with the status quo. These individuals often possess a foundation of raw talent, a spark of promise, or a compelling idea. However, they have not fully harnessed their abilities, or demonstrated that they have harnessed them consistently.

Example, in sports, a good athlete may exhibit moments of brilliance but may lacks the discipline. mental fortitude, or mindstyle to consistently perform at the highest level. In the world of business, a good entrepreneur might possess a product or service with potential, yet they struggle to scale their venture due to a lack of vision or strategy. In the realms of music or the arts, good artists produce work that, while commendable especially in the studio, may not break new ground, or leave an indelible mark.

The Ascent to Greatness:

Greatness, however, represents a distinct leap forward on the path to excellence. Those who have attained greatness in their respective fields have demonstrated dedication, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of their goals. They are recognised outside of their orbit for their achievements, often inspiring admiration and emulation within their sphere of operation.

Example, in sports, great athletes consistently rise to the occasion, setting records, and earning accolades, becoming legends of their time. In the realm of business, great leaders successfully navigate the complexities of their industry, not just growing their enterprises but transforming them.

In music or the arts, great artists create work that resonates deeply with audiences, elevating their craft to a level of universal recognition.

The Realm of the Greatest:

Yet, beyond greatness lies the rarefied air of the G.O.A.T. These individuals and teams do not merely excel within their chosen domains; they redefine them. The greatest athletes are not just record-breakers; they are the icons who shift the paradigms of their sports. The greatest business leaders are not just industry disruptors; they are the visionaries who leave enduring legacies. The greatest musicians and artists produce timeless masterpieces that transcend generations. However, NON OF THEM achieved their G.O.A.T status on their own.

You might have heard the phase it takes team work to make the dream work!
