@CoachThisath One day at a time

[Jamie @HarvestAdv]

The tug between dad-time and work time can be exhausting.

It can feel like being at a disadvantage compared to entrepreneur friends with no kids.

I have to constantly remind myself that a large part of why I’m doing this is for my kids.

[VEO @vrexec]

You’re self-employed. You’re married with young kids.

You try to work smart, hard, do well for yourself and family.

You have coffee with some entrepreneur friends who run much larger operations than you do.. if you can even call what you do an operation.. moving a lot more money than you do.

You wonder if you should be doing more, adding more complexity, taking more risk, gunning for bigger paydays.

You walk awhile, reflect, grab another coffee.

You scroll X and LinkedIn for a few minutes.

You see a guy posting about a $100m fundraise from a beach somewhere.

The feeling piles on.

But then the algorithm shows you a post from someone whose teenage son has cancer. Hundreds of comments from mostly strangers offering their support.

Then it shows you a post from someone who, admitting their vulnerability, asking for help looking for a job because he was laid off from a big tech company recently and doesn’t know what to do. Worked there for 25 years.

Then there’s a post from someone offering tribute to their long-term colleague who died unexpectedly from an aneurysm over the weekend. He had a beautiful family. Only 45.

Then a guy who’s stuck with millions of SBA debt wondering if he should “fail in public” by sharing his story as a warning.

Then back to the guy who just completed his first tuck-in deal after buying his first business in 2022.

Do you see where I’m going with this?

@stemonteduro Best time of year here in the DC metro area.

Weather cools off, kids back in school, football season starts.

Summer is my least favorite season tbh 😅

@sandislonjsak Why?

[Jamie @HarvestAdv]

If you're posting on X every day you ought to have a real growth strategy.

Otherwise you're wasting your time.

[Ali @HeyAliux]

Should founders be posting on X every day?

@KaluraDeepesh Did you try checking your butt

[Jamie @HarvestAdv]

The hardest part about running an advisory business is explaining to customers that i want a partnership, not an executive title
