three ways to make sure you don’t settle

we have been talking all week about how settling will prevent us from reaching our maximum potential. today, i offer you three ways to make sure you don’t allow yourself to settle.

get others to hold you accountable. once you have that vision, tell the world (or at least a few people close to you that you can trust). sometimes, we may lose sight of our vision and what we are hoping to accomplish, but having objective parties around you that can smack you back in shape when you wander off the path is worth more than you can imagine.
