Sitting in a 1990 crown Vic looking out the window thinking, “Man where the heck are we?” I knew we were headed to Canada, I also knew the general direction we were headed, North, which I was pretty sure wasn't too hard to figure out. However, based on the tension and lack of communication going on between my grandfather and grandmother in the front of the car I knew we were lost.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed and outgunned throughout our days. We have so much thrown at us that it can feel like you’re trudging through mud. This is a normal and totally understandable feeling. You are not alone, I have worked with athletes at the highest levels and pretty much every demographic out there, this feeling is universal.

When I was working as the VP of business development we focused pretty heavily on utilizing our entire workforce for sales. If I couldn't or our salesman couldn't get to a job for an estimate then we would see who was in the area and, if they were not a total idiot, we would send them.
