Making progress

Yesterday morning, I had just boarded the train for a morning appointment when my client called to say the meeting was in limbo. The other person involved was covering for a colleague and needed to rearrange her schedule.

No problem. I live to serve my customers. (Really.)

I asked him to call me back and keep me posted.

Five minutes later, I received the follow-up call. We were still on, but could we make the appointment 10:45 instead of 10? Of course. As an entrepreneur, flexibility has become my middle name.

I marched myself off the train and over to a Starbucks two blocks away from the client location. There, I penned 400+ words while I nibbled on a raspberry scone and sipped an iced caramel macchiato.

By the time I left for my meeting, I felt like I had already had a productive day.
