I wish I wrote this blog, but sometimes somebody else’s words are better than yours. Seth Godin nailed this. I don’t think I could have said this any better.
Think about how many weeks go by and you decide to just do the easy stuff and you say you’re “too busy” to deal with the difficult things.
I think it’s important to sprint towards your problems and the things that are the most difficult to accomplish. The people you are dealing with will appreciate that more than you realize.

There are people who can cut corners better than you, work more hours than you and certainly work cheaper than you. But what would happen if you became the person who was smarter, better at solving problems and cared the most?
