The clean environment vs the dirty 🧹
It’s been a while since the days of the dirty van tours & low rent clubs of my youth, but there will always be a venue that “bootstraps”.
Last night, the local band I work for played a ticketed gig, but, today I’m in my church gig. The Saturday night venue is open air, smoking, and there is a layer of dirt on everything. The church hires professionals to clean and has reliable gear.
What I realize this morning is that an untidy workspace creates mental friction and speed bumps little by little, and suddenly you are 7 hours in without a break, covered in sweat and dirt, rather than enjoying the entertainment you have worked hard to deliver.
I knew very well the Saturday location includes questionable tech and power, or in other words, an uphill battle. I should have hired an A2 and allocated some responsibility manning the ship. Had I done so, I may have had more time to control the atmosphere, participate in the fellowship, and raise the bar for the venue to my standards as an A1.
The difference in a clean production and a dirty one really comes down to teamwork and leadership. Everyone needs to do what they are called to do and needs someone to call them. If you, I, or the bootstrapping club owner individually put everything on our backs, then we will waste our collective potential, and the time to enjoy our fruits will pass too quickly.
