Do you ever find yourself sitting at your computer at the end of a long workday, thinking, “Where did all the time go!?” It’s not just about how quickly the time passes – it’s also about what we have to show for it.

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a very competitive person.
My early identity, before The Introvert Entrepreneur, before being a nonprofit executive, was being a musician. Life was full of contests, auditions and ratings.

I’d forgotten what that tasted like until this week, when Competitive Beth came out with a vengeance.
