Right At Me

Have you ever gone to a show, or panel, or other large event and felt like a comment or glance was being directed right at you?
It happened to me (and happily, this isn’t the first time) last night. It was a panel on the function of a company manager. One of the managers said this at the start of the discussion: “If you’ve put together a wedding, you can produce a show!”
For those of you who’ve been reading for a while now, I DID put together my wedding!!! (My mother was invaluable in the process. She was my partner, and she was my Company Manager as well… she helped with negotiations and talking to vendors and discussing the budget. She did payroll and helped me with operating costs…)
I got sooo much out of last night’s discussion — the most important being: Form a team early… because you can’t do it alone, and it’s better if you have help. (It sounds funny to say, but how many times have you tried to go it alone and felt the burden of something that was so much bigger than you overwhelm you?)
I’ve already started forming a team, but I’m always on the lookout for more team players…
