I’ve been very focused on staying focused. Work. Work. Work. Keep your eye on the prize. Raise money to get to the next milestone.

I’ve limited my lunches and dinners to include only work related meetings (boring I know) but necessary for now.

An old friend who I rarely hear from started contacting me on LinkedIn. She launched a new company and wanted to get together and catch up. I put her off. After all we hadn’t talked for 3 years. And I was “busy.”

But she persisted and I relented. I agreed to meet her for lunch near my office.
It was great to see her and made me realize that being too focused isn’t always best. I loved the idea behind her new company. And when I told her about StashWall, her eyes lit up. She loved everything about it. So much so that she offered to invest.

Why yes, I’ll have a slice of humble pie with that.
