My company, Gocella, moved offices this week. The elevator wasn’t working. The deliveries did not show up. The internet didn’t work. When Internet doesn’t work you feel like you might never connect to anyone or anything ever again.
I felt lonely. I missed the old office. And I hate change and the fact that I had to move because no clients want to come to New Jersey.
Then I received a call from that someone special, asking me to take a break and meet for a bit outside, “wanna take a walk?” If this were about 12 months ago I would have said I can’t too busy and anxious about getting this move right.
HOWEVER, I VOWED TO MYSELF and her priorities have changed and my personal life and her come first.
Since I made this change, guess what? I have made more success in my life.
I have really been able to embrace the good stuff and enjoy moments I used to let slip by.
So I excused myself from the team and headed out to meet her, we walked a bit and then found a park to just sit in the grass and talk about our day, our weekend plans and just smile at each other.
That sounds like corny BS. But I vowed to myself to be corny…it’s honest.
On a tough day, an entrepreneur needs breaks. The more busy you think you are, the more breaks you need. At least for me this is true.
Gocella is not my first start up but it is the most important company I have ever started…I designed product with a great team that will enhance and innovate the future of direct marketing across mobile and social. The experience of the team behind Gocella is pretty crazy, so crazy I can’t believe the team we have from dev, to tech, to sales, to corporate. I am really blessed.
After a day of my brain being electrocuted, I met my friend Bugsy for a beer and he invited me to the Eminem concert for Gshock. Effin Eminem!
I turned it down and headed home.
Just having a beer with Bugsy was a bonus we have been friends for about 19 years. Eminem would’ve lasted one night. Bugsy is my friend for life.
This was truly one of those days to be grateful. You having zero doubts who real friends are. You know when someone really cares, you got to be productive…you stayed inspired and dedicated. If I can have that every day that’s worth a gazillion dollars.
On the drive home there was an accident. Ambulances and police and lights flashing everywhere. My usual 25 minutes was 90 minutes. I switched from Jay Z to classical and some Andrea Bocelli. Wall to wall traffic.
I felt like I was never going to move again.
What a great day.
