Four Days of Doing the Work… Here’s What Smacked Me in the Face

I’ve been in a pretty intense work sprint this week... deep thinking, rebuilding, tearing things apart, putting them back together.

Not for a launch… not for a client… just for my own growth.

And a few things hit me harder than expected.

1. Clarity is way more uncomfortable than confusion. Confusion feels safe because you don’t have to commit. Clarity forces decisions. And decisions expose whether you’ve been playing small.

2. “One person” is always the right answer... even when you swear you’re different. I thought I was crisp. Turns out I was still hiding behind broad language dressed up as strategy.

3. Every roadmap has an expiration date. The one that got you here usually isn’t the one that gets you where you're going next. Letting go of an old system is weirdly emotional.

Just sharing the stuff I’m wrestling with because I know a lot of us are building, refining, or reinventing right now.

And honestly… it feels good to grow in public again.
