(No More) Mediocre Me : How Saying No to the Status Quo Will Propel You From Ordinary to Extraordinary

It’s certainly easy to understand why mediocrity seems to be the new norm in our country. After all, take a look around. As you read this we find ourselves burdened with immense national debt, polarized political parties, sky high unemployment, and increasing levels of hunger, homelessness, and hopelessness. All while our discontent with leaders across all segments of society leaves us scratching our heads and searching our hearts to understand, “how did we end up here?”

The more important question, of course, is where do we go from here? And, as importantly, what role will you play? This is where I have some good news to offer. (No More) Mediocre Me reminds us the solution to the current mess we''re in is already present—“invisible” in plain sight. It’s not found in another government program nor can it be dictated merely by expert opinions. Rather, the answer to our individual and collective challenges is found in the inspiring example of those citizen-leaders in our midst who are hard at work trying to move things solidly forward in their spheres of influence. And, best of all, they are waiting for more of us to join them.

Sound frightening? Challenging? Too difficult to pull off, you say?

Think again.

Ever notice when you “go the extra mile” you don’t have much company?  Want to know why?

Most people accept a Mediocre Me mindset that convinces them good enough is good enough—no need to go that extra mile.  However, truly effective people think and act differently.  They choose to always be and do more—recognizing the true measure of a life well lived isn’t determined by titles, ranks, roles, or positions.  Rather, it’s what we choose to do with every day opportunities to have more impact, make more of a difference, and do our best work to stand out from the crowd. 

This book is for you if you’re interested in raising the bar and you…

• Can’t tolerate average, but aren’t sure how to break free from it

• Are resourceful, open-minded, and driven by what is possible

• Are done settling and ready to claim the life you’ve always wanted.

The exciting news is learning how to develop an extra mile mentality is easy.  After reading this book, you will be equipped to routinely transform ordinary encounters into extraordinary opportunities to create the positive change you want to see---one interaction at a time.

I’m looking forward to helping you discover how to get started.
