We all struggle. No matter how well intentioned we are, life happens and we find ourselves off track, and then frustration sets in and then the negative voices in our head kick in. All of a sudden you are in a monotonous cycle and your life feels like the movie "Ground Hogs Day".

On this podcast, I talk about some strategies to help overcome those moments when the negative voices happen and how to move from a place of feeling stuck to self empowerment.

For this episode of The Last 2%, we deal with Procrastination. Have you found yourself setting goals for yourself only to find that you look up and a day, a week, a month or years later, you are still in the same place and haven't done what you said you we're going to do. Then the negative voices in your head get going and now you're comparing yourself to others. Welcome to the club.

The last Two Percent is, we all fall and have been prisoners to Procrastination. Procrastination simply put, is a dream killer. On this episode I get personal and talk about some of my own struggles and discuss ways to cope and move from procrastination to owning our power.
