You know that expression, “You’re your own worse enemy”? Of course you do; it’s practically the overachiever’s slogan! (That’s not meant as a good thing, BTW….) It came up when I was talking with a client who was venting about how miserable she was at work.

Has this ever happened to you? You have a goal and you stick with it... except once you achieve your vision, it’s either

Have you been feeling burned out lately? Not caring about stuff…maybe even wondering what you’re doing with your life? Well, you’re not alone! There’s this crazy, disturbing trend out there, kind of like an identity crisis—and it’s especially affecting overachievers, which I know describes most (if not all!) of you, plus probably many of the people you know. So, this week’s conversation is a little different from our usual chats in that it’s just between us…you and me. Consider this a PSA—a Positivity Service Announcement!

Has this ever happened to you: You sit down to meditate but are so focused on figuring out the purpose of your meditation that now you’re too stressed to meditate? Yeah, well, me, too! But that’s only one of the reasons I know how meaningful you’re going to find this week’s conversation.

Okay, before you roll your eyes one more time about that title, I have two things to say: One, that’s not a come-on…we really do have a strategy for how you can be the world’s best; and two, this week’s conversation is with the awesome Mike Michalowicz, who, even when fighting a cold, managed to offer up some of the best words to live and work by. (Trust me, you’re gonna want to take notes!)
