I love what Mark Twain once said. “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” Why spend all day worrying about a call you have to make, or meeting with a difficult client or employee? Do it first thing in the morning! If you do, you will find your energy increases as well as your focus. You are happier that you did. ~Michael Rogers, Teamwork and Leadership
