Week 28… A new direction? I had to work Monday from home. I found that I had not been able to do any work over the week-end (Sunday I was flat on my back – just exhausted). As a result, I ended up not making the necessary progress on the innovation story line. This caused chaos during the week. To add to the difficulty of the week, I had another round of interviews with the startup that I’ve been talking to for a few weeks now. There’s some good potential there, but a big risk (that I end up behind the scenes)<\/p>\n

Words of the week:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

  • \n
    Expectations<\/strong>: With the startup that I’m talking to, it seems that aligning what they are looking for and what I can provide is a bit challenging. Part of it is that we’re talking at a high level, so we’re not able to speak of specifics. I proposed a project to them, but I’m not sure how they truly feel about it (they should send me data to conduct some analyses).<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

    Pressure:<\/strong>\u00a0The team I lead is starting to get a lot of pressure on many fronts. This will break us apart, and likely lead to a lot of resignations. Starting with my most critical manager (who reports to me). If she leaves, then I will be immediately after her. It’ll be better to be unemployed than stuck doing her work (at 1\/2 her speed). A sad realization…<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Block:<\/strong> I find that I have to block my time more and more regularly. Just to make sure that I can actually get work done.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Number of the Week:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
      \n
    • 100:<\/strong> The startup that I’m talking to has 100 customers (they just went live this past week). It would be interesting to see how they’ll continue to scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
