IS IT DONE WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND IT OR EXECUTE IT?

(self ridicule)

My long time business partner, Jim teased me for most of our twenty years together, that I separated problem solving from work. “You think something is easy once you understand how to solve it. But the work still has to be done.”

I would agree. Always. Because my job in our business relationships, across multiple companies, was to figure stuff out: solving the problem, solving it early, and organizing execution. After that it’s just making license plates. And that wasn’t my job. I don’t make license plates. I hire people to make license plates.

But he is right. work is still hard, and you still learn, and details affect the outcome.

Writing is hard work.
