From the dean of a local college, “I am excited to talk to you
about what we are doing here in the business department…Would you
be available to meet for coffee one day?”
•
Nine emails from readers introducing themselves and telling me
about their current challenge.
And then of course are the requests that come through LinkedIn. I get 10–20
messages a day requesting a meeting or call to see if I would like to invest in a
company, review a new product offering, provide advice for their startup, help
them write their first book, and on and on.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining about the requests, nor am I
making fun of any of the people reaching out. On the contrary, I’m flattered and
view these requests on my time to be a sign that I’m doing something right. And
in fact, many of these requests I will respond to (coffee with the dean, for
example).
But we must be vigilant with our time.
Remember, only 1,440 minutes in a day!
