We all have those moments where we feel like we’re coasting, right?
I mean, coasting in the sense of “It’s been a while since I’ve felt like I’ve put my nose to the grindstone and challenged myself.”
It’s not that I’ve not been working hard, but you know how sometimes you get caught in the everyday details so much that the Big Ideas can be left idling on the side? That’s how I’ve felt lately.
Of course, part of the problem is that I love what I do. A lot of those details are, honestly, fun and engaging and done with fun people! And I don’t think there’s anything wrong in reveling in accomplishing the everyday things: without them, we’d be nowhere!
But, also, it’s important for me to keep reminding myself that it’s not just the daily stuff, but the Big Ideas that are my job. If the company I run, that I’m both responsible for and responsible TO, is going to succeed… then both things need to be handled.
That’s my goal as we launch into our new season.
