Culture shock and sanity check.

Posted straight from my phone with Nakama. Click to see more.

Thought you might find that amusing :-) ... just in my hotel room... got some more work to get done before I head out to one of the CTIA parties this eve... heading to the Finnish Consul General's home, apparently... should be fun.

Also just got off the phone with our board (yeah, I was an idiot and didn't realize I'd be out of town when we scheduled it). One more reason to build a board? Sanity checks. We think we've made a lot of progress over the last 30 days... and we think we're going to make some great progress over the NEXT 30 ... but maybe not as much as we'd thought. After some discussion, it's clear that some of our initial targets were pretty unrealistic. It's okay... we naturally try to stretch pretty far, and sometimes don't realize that we're stretching even farther than is realistic. No big deal: the discussion with the board made this crystal clear. Sanity checks... another great reason to have open, frequent, honest discussions with your board. I love it. :)
