"Sarah, A great list is forming here. I haven't read them all, but whenever I try to reset and "Escape Mediocrity" I do three things: 1) I go watch a few episodes of "Kitchen Nightmares" with Gordon Ramsey. I am not a huge fan of "Hell's Kitchen", but KN has inspired me so many times to stop accepting crappy things and situations in my business. Gordon's message of a) make it simpler and b) really get back to what you are passionate about resonates with me deeply. 2) I Quit. That is, I find several things to STOP doing that are holding me back. So stated in your format: Am I willing to QUIT doing the things that are keeping me from escaping mediocrity." - Tobin Truog
