How to Overcome the Procrastination and Perfectionism that are Holding You Back

 

One of the keys to business success is using your time properly. That can be tough when you have a job, family, home or other major commitments – and when occupational hazards like procrastination and perfectionism rear their ugly heads. The good news is that all of these issues can be addressed once you’ve figured out the root causes of your “issues” and applied some practical strategies to address them. (Hint: it’s not that you’re lazy or uncommitted—so stop blaming yourself!) Author and business coach (www.hillaryrettig.com) Hillary Rettig (The 7 Secrets of the Prolific) will give you the tools you need to understand and overcome your internal barriers so that you can achieve your business and other goals.
