Time for a review

All of the traveling I’ve done in the past few months, combined with a slew of new business enquiries, has led me to a crossroads. I’m doing some serious evaluation on what I’m doing now and what I want to do. Specifically I’m trying to define the kind of projects I should be pursuing, find time to focus on the work I already have and do some long term planning to define where I want to be.

So Monday is an official company retreat. I’m going to hide myself away in a nearby coffee shop and do a major league brain dump. The year so far has been a whirlwind and I need to get my arms around what I’m doing.

I’m seriously taking Brian’s words to heart:

Make ‘no’ the default answer for new project/app review/etc. requests. New things should earn their way into the attention field.

The criteria of course being is this something that makes sense and is this something that will pay well.  If this answer to both questions isn’t yes then the answer is no.

  • Good for you! When you get up a head of steam (as you obviously have) you can ditch the old shortage thinking in favor of both/and thinking. Since I'm a baseball fan, I compare it to the classic dichotomy between glovemen and hitters at a given position. And yeah, sometimes you have to settle for one or the other with your projects/jobs/career/etc. But now you're in a position to insist on "Willie Mays projects" -- hitting *and* defense, something that excites you *and* fits with what you're doing *and* pays you well.

    Keep on rockin' . . .
