Ahhh the honeymoon period. The time when everything is fresh, new, and exciting as you start your new job. The work is interesting, your colleagues are friendly and helpful, and you can't wait to see what each new day brings.

Before you know it, you’re back to the grind, and the only thing that is new and exciting is your weekend plans.

But does it really have to be this way? What if instead you could take advantage of the honeymoon excitement and energy before you fall into a workplace slump? In this episode, we’ll tell you how.
