One of my colleagues, Al, private-messaged me. “I'm so much more effective now that we're remote. I get a ton more work done. I'm so much happier. I love where the product is going. How can I do more of this?” Al feels productive and engaged. Why does he feel this way? When I spoke with him, his managers had eliminated the busy-work he'd previously done.

In case you missed my last post: The Five Ones … or The Five 1s … or The 5 Ones. Do you sometimes feel like your business model is too complex? The more stuff you have going on, the more scattered your energy. And the harder it is to build your practice … and the longer it will take to grow it.
