Failure hurts

This week I scrapped a project. I invested many hours developing an audio recording with helpful steps to assist presenters but after significant editing I realized that the final result was not worthy of my name. It hurt to pull the plug and now I will have to start again. Hopefully much wiser and with the benefit of experience.

Don't you just hate it when you have the "benefit of experience"? It sounds to me like a euphemism for "you messed up, didn't you?".

Anyway, to reach new heights and develop new products we have to accept that some projects are Mustangs and some are Edsels. Oh well!! Life goes on.

Today Ed Tate recorded the introduction for "Feet-to-the-Fire", which is the Accountability Partnership resource that Liz Trendowski are wrapping up. Our current version is already good and I believe the result will be eye-popping. Maybe we can wrap this one up in the next week. Getting this project finished is testament to the value of Accountability Partnerships.

I will be sailing overnight on Saturday and Sunday, and may miss a day of blogging over the weekend. We are leaving home on Saturday morning, sailing to the mouth of the Connecticut river on Saturday, and then coming up the river on Sunday. We will see how my schedule works out to see if I get a chance to blog.
