I find myself swimming in a sea of complexity; much of it is my own doing. As the initial momentum of starting a business has waned a bit, I have come to the realization that I need to revise my strategic business plan. I'm reminded of the phrase which goes something like this, "It's not enough to do things right but to do the right things." What I do, I do well, but I've not been doing enough of the right things. It's time to reassess what's important to the business and do those things well.
The emphasis behind this is the overwhelming feeling I've had lately, caused by the myriad number of things that need to be done. There are so many hats I need to wear that I have found it somewhat paralyzing. What's ironic is that I know better. I know if you "sharpen the saw" you can cut more trees. I know "measure twice, cut once" (life is just full of metaphors). I am very aware of the difference between the urgent and the important. So what to do?
