Episode 288, Complacency Kills SuccessSummary Curt Cignetti’s three-word mindset—Complacency Kills Success—captures what it takes to win when you’ve never won before and sustain standards when everyone starts celebrating. In this episode, we break down how complacency sneaks in, how it quietly erodes performance, and how to protect your “edge” in sales, leadership, and life.The 3 WordsComplacency. Kills. Success.Key topics covered:Complacency isn’t laziness—it’s what shows up after progress (“we’re good now”).“Kills” means it’s silent and gradual: standards slip one small decision at a time.Success is a system, not a moment—a repeatable set of habits you protect daily.The best performers act like they’re 0–0 and keep doing the basics with intensity.Bonus mindset cue: Cignetti’s “I win. Google me.” is a standard statement, not just a soundbite.Pick one area you’ve gotten comfortable and answer:Where am I coasting?  (Complacency)What standard is slipping?  (Kills)What would “winning” require again—daily?  ( Success) If this hit you today, share it with someone who’s doing well—but needs to stay on that path. And if you’re building your own winning season, remember: your next level won’t be built by what you did once. It’ll be built by what you refuse to stop doing!  If you want, comment EDGE and I’ll send you a 1-page worksheet you can use for you or with your team.  Connect with Lisa:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisathal/http://threewordmeetings.comhttp://threewordpodcast
