Call it writers block / call it Spring Fever, but I have been procrastinating on this blog post for hours (read: 2 days). I keep feeling like I should be posting something really deep and profound and I’ve gotta be honest, I just don’t have it in me today. Which begs the question ~ is…
We all have them. We get on a roll in life and everything is going just the way we want it to. Business is flowing, our personal lives are great and then something happens to mess it all up. The business dries up, we get in a fight with our spouse, we get sick and…

Whenever business is slow I always feel like I am the ONLY one having a hard time. Every one else seems to be buzzing around the office with all sorts of activity and I feel like I am being left behind. I was on a training call with a group of people yesterday and we…
