We’ve all heard the cliche “Work Hard, Play Hard”.  This might even be the formula that motivates us.  Unfortunately,  this is also an approach which gets many of us into trouble.  We mistakenly believe that if we go “all out”,  that at some distant point in the future,  we will have the opportunity, energy and […]

I find myself checking my cell phone literally dozens of times every day.  Has someone called, texted, left a message?  The evil little device puts me in touch with everyone, ALL THE TIME.  Of course, it’s not really evil, but without it I would feel…well, inadequate.  There, I said it!  Besides, how will my business […]
