I have to apologize for not having added much content to this blog over the summer, its not that I too
k a great deal of time off, in fact it was a crazy, in a good way, summer. Most of the summer felt similar to jumping into a very cold lake on a hot sticky day. The combination of the first 30 seconds of intense chaotic shock of cold with an under current of satisfaction that not only would the intense shock soon dissipate but that reaching the objective of cooling off would soon be realized as well. I love the thrill of performing right at the edge of chaos. The rewards of the completed tasks seems sweeter and very little becomes monotonous. If you read my blog or have heard me speak you know I’m a big fan of the “flow” concept. This sense of accomplishment within chaos certainly produces flow for me. The flip side is that chaos can also breed contempt for those tasks that ‘need’ to be completed in order to feed your flow habit. For entrepreneurs that often means the accounting (invoicing and playing bills), cold calls to sales person, maintaining connections and relationships for an introvert. Whatever finds its way to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list.
September has always been that time of year for me, the cycle to clean and revitalize, to strategize and forecast. So no excuses back to the balanced approach of fun and work.
