Waiting for The Go

I work in a very simple business.  We book shows so we can meet more people so we can book shows so we can meet more people so we can book shows so we can meet more people...well, you get the idea.  The point of course being that in meeting these people, we will have the opportunity to in some way better their lives, improve their daily experience or perhaps help them to improve their circumstances.  It is a beautifully basic concept that can have dramatic impact. Perhaps it is because of this simplicity that so many people make it more complex!

It is in our nature to over analyze everything.  We take very little at face value and look for the underlying meaning.  The analyzing can be paralyzing.  We think,"wait-it can't be this simple.  I must find a way to make it have more meaning and appear more enlightened....I must complicate the process!"

While we work on making our simple business "better" by clogging it up with a lot of extra stuff, we find ourselves waiting for the Go; waiting for everything to be in order before we actually DO anything.
There is much debate surrounding a simple little french play about waiting....while in fact it may just be a story about two men searching for ways to do nothing.

It's a new year....clean the slate, empty the baggage, stop complicating things.
Go out and meet some new people so you can have more shows and meet more people so you can finally get around to doing the important stuff....enriching the lives of other people. Quit waiting for The Go and spending lots of time finding ways to do nothing.  The light is already green.  Step on the gas and drive.
