Watch time: 6 min | Jeffrey’s new standard
What does it really look like when someone stops tolerating the life they've been living and raises their standard? Meet Jeffrey, whose story shows what happens when you actually hold yourself to a new standard.
Jeffrey grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, raised by his grandmother because both his parents were struggling with addiction and frequently in and out of prison. There were nights with no lights on in the house and mornings with no one home. As a kid, Jeffrey was hungry, unsupervised, and pulled into street life before he had any real chance to choose differently. By his own words, he was a follower.
Then at 19, Jeffrey was shot and paralyzed. When doctors told him he'd need assistance for the rest of his life, that moment became the catalyst for his new standard.
He didn't transform overnight. He started small—going to the gym, picking up books, and breaking old habits one at a time. One of the first books he grabbed was Tony's, and when he later attended Wealth Mastery, everything accelerated.
It started with taking his son to look at a neighbor’s lawn mower. Jeffrey rode it around and felt something he hadn't felt in a long time: possibility. He launched a lawn care business, bringing the same relentless drive from his past, only now pointed toward a compelling future.
Today, Jeffrey has secured six-figure contracts and he’s living a new standard. He gives back to his community, mentors others, and says with confidence: "I used to be a follower. Now I can honestly say I'm a leader."
Jeffery’s story shows the real power of raising your standards.
So look at what you may have written down from the deep dive exercise above. And hold yourself to this new standard.
