The Steve Jobs Question

My calendar is awash with Zoom calls today.

Individually, each is “needed.” (Reaaaly?)

Collectively, these Zoom calls create a day of treading water, struggling against the surging current.

Fortunately, today is the last day like this for a while. Deliberately created change.

Individual calls can be canceled or change. The weekly team meetings. What are we doing here, and why? Individual 1:1s. What am I doing there, and why?

Customers. Of course. (But why me on the call and not someone else?) Prospects? Of course. (Remember how it was startling to me to hear that Dan did sales calls at this stage of his business? Why did he do that? Should I be doing most of the sales?)

Maybe if you want to talk to me, you will find me at a table at my regular cafe. Because the life I want to live is there. Coffee. People passing by. A friend to talk to. A light snack. It’s a sunny day and it’s enough.
