The Work That You Do

The Work that you Do is more than the code that you ship, the words that you write, the articles you read, the invoicing, the testing, and, in essence, the tasks that you do. The Work That You Do is not your job description. It is how you lead yourself, and how you lead others. It is your ability to show up when things are not going your way. It is the extra 5 – 10 minutes you put into your work to polish your work. It is desire to fix the last bug before the product goes out. It

Where You Work Best

Where you do your best work is as important as the work that you do. The environment, the people, your surroundings, your knick-knacks that you fiddle with while on a call. These are all the things that enable you to do your best work. Your favorite mouse and keyboard (oh have I tried with keyboards) are what make you a success and take the “this feels awkward” out of everything you do and let you slide right into doing work, no matter where you are.

If you can’t do it through the app, there is probably an API that will you do it or a background process. And although this is great, this begs the question – why can’t you do it through the app itself? Why is it restricted?  What was the reasoning? And if you’re now doing it through the API, why do you then need the app?  What is it giving you? Give your App the same power your API does – not everyone is a developer, they bought your app to use it – not to build a solution around it.

Old Licensing

When your company is new, your licensing model is simple and perhaps even non-existent. “Want our product, please take it, and thanks for using it.” “Want to use it for your team?  Here’s a team license.” “Want to use it for this building?  Here’s a site license.” Simple, achieves the goal. You might not need a license today, but if your customers need to hire a licensing expert to understand what they need to buy – you’ve lost the narrative. Keep it simple, know what you want it to look like in 5 years, whether it’s free today or paid
