Work ethic.

So I’m at meeting house (essentially the local pub) at bar with my comrade playing chess when a fat plate of nachos lands a few stools down. I tell my friend to tell whoever ordered those nachos to pass them down. I don’t know who it is. They pass them down. This is my life.

This seems to be one of the most challenging things to do/have in life consistently.

The secret to success in almost all fields is large, uninterrupted blocks of focused time.

To many times I attempt to jump from the worker to the owner, and probably don’t spend enough time in the manager role.

This is not a new idea, but one I am remind ring myself about. If you’re an entrepreneur, try and recognize your position, in any given circumstance. Are you the manager, the owner or the worker?

The manager brings value by understanding the work, and helps steer the worker towards what should be worked on. This should not be someone without direct experience of the actual work, but someone who continually checks in on the work being done. To ensure it’s the “right” work.
