Where is Giving it Your “All,” Getting You? How About Giving 80%?

You’re the woman who is “giving 110%” and not settling for “good enough.” Some may call you an “A type” personality. Others may call you a perfectionist. Whatever they call you – they are definitely calling you when it is time to get something done right. (In fact, I’m getting a little drowsy just thinking about all you do.) And you say yes MOST of the time.
