Good Monday morning to you,

A friend of mine recently approached me after reading a booklet I wrote a few years ago titled Overcoming Stage 2 Stall. The booklet addresses symptoms and remedies for four of the leading causes of this condition.

In this Monday Morning Notes series, I respond to his request by expanding on remedies for one of the causes I call Checking Out.

If you’d like a copy of the booklet, you can download it for free at Violand.com/stage-2-stall.

Enjoy!
