Episode #54 Back On Track

You’ve had a fabulous holiday, a much needed break from it all, but now it’s time to get back on track!

Back to your deals, back to your clients, back to the projects, back to your exercise routine and all the other structures you have in place to support you in your life and work which you’ve relaxed or neglected during the holidays.

But knowing you have to get back on track is one thing. Doing it is another. Getting back to work can be hard! It can take weeks of frustration to get back up to speed.

If this is your experience right now, this episode is exactly what you need.

Even if it isn’t, this episode is one you want to listen to so you know exactly what to do when it happens in the future. You can fall off track at any time! Which means the better prepared you are for that post holiday/city break/end of transaction low, the quicker you’ll be able to get out of it.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

– what your brain does when you’ve had a break and it’s time to get back to work (mine does this too)

– the no.1 rule for how you treat yourself when you keep putting things off and avoiding doing what’s required

– the tools I teach you in Be The First Progression for Black Lawyers that will get your brain on your side

– 5 strategies that I used to get back on track earlier this month which mean I’m back with a bang and firing on all cylinders!
