Richie says I'm doing too much homework. And I probably am. But, for me, starting a new thing, a new project, brings a certain amount of energy and excitement. Accompanied by a healthy dose of, I don't know if I would call it fear, maybe more like uncertainty, that I'll actually be able to accomplish/finish it. But I always try to follow the best advice I ever received before starting my own business. I had hired a business consultant to help me with the business plan and all the nitty gritty and somewhat tedious details that go into opening a new restaurant. He handed me a five page, single spaced, 100 item list of things to do and said, "Read number one on the list. Do the task until it is complete and then read number two. Do that one and then move on to number three. And so on. Don't look at the whole list, just look at the number in front of you." Wow! That was amazing advice, because, as long as I continued to do the work and didn't obsess about some item that was in the future, I did, in fact, reach the end of the list. It took a minute, but I never got too stressed out.
So now, beginning this new class and taking on a new discipline I am trying to hear Alan Smith's words and do what is in front of me. I supposed negotiating my time is the hardest piece, but I have enjoyed this first week of work and feel like I produced a couple solid pieces and learned a little along the way. My second class is tonight and if I can negotiate the ZOOM better than last week, I'll be all set!
Come see us today. I roasted some salmon and am serving it cold in the case for a little protein alternative. Try it on my Lemony Kale with Watermelon Radishes and Shaved Parmesan. That'll be a delicious, healthy lunch.
