Lessons In Life And Leadership

Welcome back to another episode of Monday's with Mike on the Lessons in Life and Leadership podcast. Today, I'm two great listener-submitted questions about staying focused during challenging times and identifying when you are ready to stop planning and begin taking action. We have all experienced personal challenges and difficulties that have a tendency to draw our attention away from our work and demand that we focus on the challenge at hand – whether it's a divorce, a death in the family, or even something as exciting as a personal accomplishment. What methods and strategies do you use to allow yourself to focus on your work while still giving the personal issues and challenges you're facing the attention it deserves?  Do you compartmentalize? That's what we're going to discuss in this week's episode, as well as how you can tell when it's time to move past the "getting ready" phase and move on to the "getting busy."   "People need to be more action-oriented and less "getting ready" oriented." &nb
