I often hear people say that they feel guilty if they take any downtime or that they don’t give themselves permission to have downtime, to relax, or to play.

People Like Me

We often have some head trash that goes something like ~ People like me don’t get rich. People like me don’t drive luxury automobiles. People like me don’t sell. People like me don’t get ahead. People like me don’t succeed in this business. Etc etc etc . . . We use this “people like me” […]
