Are you having one of those days that you re asking yourself, What am I doing with myself? Where is my career going? How did I end up here? I have to go home and play lotto tonight! Work! It is what we do for the greater chunk of our lives. We often face a number of obstacles throughout our career.

I Get Knocked Down is a guide to help motivate you during those days or phases where you feel like you hit a brick wall at work (i.e. you want to call in sick, are wishing for a snow day, want to go back to school).

We’ve all been there. This guide is written to help give you a little boost, make you realize that you re not alone in the way you feel, perhaps give you an idea or two but most of all this guide is real. It comes from real life experiences, is built upon real dilemmas, emotions, achievements and failures. It is a sincere sharing of ideas, changes and chances that the author has taken throughout her career. Life throws us a lot of curve balls. We have no choice but to play the game, learn how to just roll with it and most importantly, make the best of it! Getting knocked down isn t too much fun, but it happens (more to some than others)!

Getting back up can be fun, exciting and definitely challenging, depending on what you make of it, how you look at it and just doing it. I got knocked down, brushed myself off and have to say it s definitely been one memorable ride.
