Stop making excuses!

Yes, we have all had them: days in which everything seems to go wrong, upside down, and sideways. It seems to ring even truer in logistics. I know that I can't stop the chaos from happening, and I wish I had a way to fix it all, but it is simply out of my control.

What I have noticed over the past 25 years in an office is that most of the time, I am a better person when I have people watching me. Now, working remotely most of the time, has made me have to think a little harder about my choices.

When things are slow, do I go home? When things are busy, do I not finish the important things? Do I make excuses? These "thoughts" lead me to study—really study—a new book that I am reading called 'DON'T BULLSH*T YOURSELF' by Jon Taffer? Wow, if you haven't read this book, you need to!

I would head on over to Amazon and buy this book! It will change your life, as it has changed mine. We can no longer stand around crying because things aren't going our way or only act like we have it together when people are around. We need to own our actions, take responsibility, and stop making excuses!

Easier said than done! So, I have compiled some things that I am doing to make real-life changes, and my hope is that you will come on this journey with me.

• Stop the routine, meaning get out of bed at a different time and go to work a different way.

• Remove the coffee maker and sugary/salty snacks from your eyesight.

• Decide today to put in the work at what you set out to do!

• Exercise and stick to it; you will be surprised how good you will feel in just a few weeks.

I hope to see you on this journey with me to take OUR lives BACK. I would love to hear your progress!
