We all want to live a life with no regrets, but to truly accomplish that requires constant, intentional focus on getting out of the “Good Enough” mindset. That means never settling for the status quo and finding ways to continuously push the envelope for what brings you joy.


In this episode, I discuss why good enough is simply not enough and share tips on how to experience more happiness in five key areas of your life. I’ll talk about the cost of settling and share the secret about what those people who are crushing it in life are doing that you might not be.
