Good morning 👋

Yesterday was one of those days.

• Roll out of bed, start working on multiple businesses simultaneously

• Crank out as much work as possible before I go into calls

• Pitch LPs

• Field and respond to emails from my quarterly LP report that went out yesterday

• Ask for intros to other people I should be talking

• Look up and it’s already 6pm

• Cook dinner, have people over to eat

• Go back to work until I pass out and bang out everything on my to-do list

Another day, another dollar.

One day, I’ll document what has actually worked / not worked in my own journey as an emerging manager, but until that day, it’s been most useful to learn from others.

This piece from Signature Block is great, and I’ve created the Sparknotes version of it in today’s piece.

Let’s get into it.
