Good Morn-neon
Realizing that some of you may recognized the title, that is the coolness of Kanye West mispronouncing good morning on the open track of his recent album.
It’s is 9:15 and I am in Orlando, FL trying to rationalize why the hell am I spending money and relaxing when I have a launch schedule to meet. I came in yesterday from Miami where I was indeed taking steps to advance our business. I was at a social function headed up by my buddies at Publictivity. It was really good. I met some cool tech guys, some other entrepreneurs and an interesting drink called a Palmojito.
In an off-line conversation I had with Frank Astor of Publictivity, he talked a lot about balance. As entrepreneurs, we are mislead by the concept of hard work. Do you have to bust your ass? Absolutely, but particularly in the early phases of a start-up seem to be a thin line between hard work and burnout. Passion has to fuel you because progress is sometimes slow and hard to notice. And if you burn your passion, you’re gonna have a hell of a time getting back on track.
