How can you, in your daily life, elevate the standards for yourself and those in your community?
Identify one aspect of your life or community where standards could be raised. Commit to one action this week that will improve your situation and work to set a higher standard in that area. Document your action and its impact on you and those around you.
Forge Forward,
Jon Mayo
