Information about employment in general and specific job postings. While you may have lost your sight, here you can gain the confidence to regain your VISION. How To Vanquish Procrastination... There are two main motivators in the universe, desire and fear. When we are motivated by desire, we come up with reasons, justifications and motivations to go after and get what we want. When we are motivated by our fears we come up with reasons, excuses and justifications as to why we don't. Partner with Mark and Eyes On Employment to vanquish procrastination and be motivated by your desire, not your fear.
