As for the MTBOK, I fear it's a... Procrastination Is Not Your FriendYou know who you are… put off what you can do today until tomorrow or the next day. Procrastinators are determined by kindergarten. At least that’s what I think. If you are in business for yourself, that personality trait does not help.
