Which version am I?

Two businesses running in-person events in NYC. One is shut down and sitting on the sidelines. The other moved to online events and is busier than ever.

Two versions of John. One shuts down and sits on the couch waiting for sunny skies. The other knows that there's never been a better time to be an entrepreneur, puts on his old shoes and goes to play in the mud puddles.

Neither is right or wrong. One is not better than the other. And sometimes we are both.

Couch creature. Builder.

This is not a one time choice. It's a moment by moment decision.

It's never about perfection, especially these days. It's about doing the best we can with what we got and where we're at. If 80% of the time I'm building, that feels good. 90% feels better. 95%, yes please.

Don't be too hard on yourself, John. When you get pulled into the couch, know that it's part of the process. And when you get up, know that there are plenty of beautiful, undisturbed puddles just waiting to be stomped.
