Today was all about recognizing support structure.
There are many types of support; emotional, physical, financial, etc.
We happen to be blessed with support in the form of utility.
Our reliance network is filled with people who are willing to be roles players...help any way they can and any way we need.
From...
Our investor's wife...letting us know her company is ready to make a deal.
My mom...dropped everything, notarized, and took me to a 'sanity-check' lunch. (nothing says mom loves ya like grilled cheese and tomato soup!)
An old friend...willing to let me feel in control because I had a moment where I didn't. (Thanks DT).
And despite all this outpouring of greatly needed help, none of it helped me as much as a conversation with my brother where I had the opportunity to help him.
I guess sometimes I need to feel like I am giving and not just taking.
And, that's tough in a start-up.
In my last job I managed almost 100 people. I was always supporting.
In this job we are moving so fast there is little time to give, rather just time to pull.
That's going to change.
I'm the CEO. I work for my team, not the other way around.
