Step 3 – Identify some specific moments during the past several weeks where you felt like you were able to express your authentic self outside of work. What were you doing? What makes you feel genuine? How important is that to you?

Business owners waste thousands of dollars every year on web sites, brochures, sales flyers, etc. that don’t work. Sadly, these are often projects that shouldn’t have been started in the first place, but no one on their team (or their outsourced graphic designer) advised them it was a bad move. As a result, business owners waste money and eventually become discourag
