All of us would like to get more done everyday, but slumps hit, our attention wavers, our motivation wanes and another day goes by with us having falling short of our best intentions.

For some people schmoosing and networking comes as easily as putting a smile on their face and heading out the door. For others getting out that door is as difficult as if they were wearing ankle chains.

Sometimes while striving for our best, we cross a blurry line and start striving for perfection and then instead of moving forward and feeling satisfied with our results, we get stuck and dissatisfied and we begin to question whether or not we are even good enough to be doing this thing in the first place.
