335: Your High Standards Are Not a Problem

Entrepreneurship • Aug 20, 2025 12:01:40 PM • Written by: Erin Aquin

What if the very thing you’ve been questioning—your “too high” standards—was actually the secret to your long-term business success?

In this episode of The Superabound Podcast, Erin dives into the myth that high expectations are the problem for coaches and business owners. Instead, she shows how the real challenge often lies in communication, alignment, and having the right people in the right roles.

You’ll discover:

  • Why “having high standards” is a strength, not a weakness, in your business.

  • The hidden reason contractors and team members push back against expectations—and how to handle it.

  • A mindset shift that reframes your role as the client of everyone you hire.

  • Practical ways to test new hires, communicate clearly, and avoid unnecessary rework.

  • How to protect your vision and culture without burning out or lowering the bar.

This episode is a short but powerful reminder that your standards exist for a reason: they’re often tied to the sustainability and excellence of your business.

If you’re a business owner who’s ready to protect your vision while growing with integrity, Erin is currently offering VIP coaching spots.
