Not Alone

Well, it is nice to know that I am not alone!

Rochelle: It is interesting that you mention guilt. There is ever so very much to do with this profession isn't there? It is so easy to feel overwhelmed and just sit on your hands and avoid it because you simply don't know where to start.

As professionals, we have to find a way around that pretty quickly as those "things to do" are our keys to our continued success. My wife makes exhaustive lists. When I get too much going, I will sometimes enlist her aid to help me organize and prioritize things into a list. This helps, because then my focus becomes getting rid of the list because I simply hate lists!

Steven: I like your saying. Now I can say, "I am not scared, I am not delaying, I am incubating."
