Listen to your guts!
Hey guys :)
Over the last couple of days, a rather crushing feeling has determined my lifestyle and took me down to my “mental” feet. The though of knowing what you want but for some reasons not being able to do anything about it. Like something is clawing itself into your veins, muscles and every little corner in your body trying to hold you back from achieving what you desire so much. Can you relate?
Well today I reached a point where I finally decided to take an action towards the mystery that has been sinking its teeth under my skin.

It is all in your head...
It is funny when you realise that all that is holding you back is in your head, yet you are so paralysed by it that you seem to have lost all control over your brains actions. You loose concentration, forget you just bought chewing gum at the counter where you bought it, can’t bring out a normal damn sentence. Man that SUCKS!
But I tell you what… The answer has to be solved within. Duh! But it is not that easy. I have a friend who I started this whole idea with. Although the initial idea of it came from my mother we grew on this idea together. We were all determined to start this baby up and so we did. LinQfish was born! Nothing you might think of right now, you haven’t even heard of it YET.

Something is wrong with the picture...
Coming back to the issue: My friend therefore was just as eager to start this project (LinQfish) as I am but now all the smooth talking and all the talking of ‘where we want to be in the future’ became more of a “I want to be a CEO”. Something that normally tells me this person is eager to do his job. Before saying anything more, my friend Chris is an awesome guy and he has an incredible positive way of thinking. And although this sounds like a fantastic condition for a partner it is not if no action follows words. Am I wrong?
In this regard I could say A LOT of positive things about Chris but in the end of the day I have found that my type of engagement into this project is greater than what he wants to bear for it. And I tell you guys, having to fight for a partner to work more and eagerly with you is not a wise game to play. Simply because he or she will be set on their own mind-set, especially if they are such strong minded people like Chris.
In the end of the day I now face the point where I have to decide whether I would like to continue to “drag” Chris with me, costing in lots of energy or should I move on and face the risk of not finding another partner :/
Life is a world of wonders but you can’t explore it without letting go and let new things fill the empty space!

THE LESSON
Ensure you don’t only think twice about who you think about putting on your team but also make sure that by analysing your roles what the other person’s benefit is to the idea. Are you both equipped with the same qualities or do do you have the same contacts than a collaboration should be reconsidered. There is no point on having two architects and no builder to construct a house, it just doesn’t make any sense!
The other thing I realised that the amount of interest in the idea by the people involved is vital! No matter who it is, even the employees need t drive for the same vision as you or the idea.
