Slow Mornings

I had a slow start on Monday.

I had a slow start on Tuesday.

And, yet, I met (and exceeded) my billing goal each day.

And, yet, I met deadlines and had space to take on emergencies.

How many mornings do you feel that pressure--to get to work, to bill away, to tackle the weight of each action item piled up on your to-do list?

Is that feeling real?

Is that pressure real?

Giving in to that pressure may be a large part of how I ended up where I am today.

But it doesn't have to be what drives me every day from here on out.
