​Busy Is Broken: Do Less, Scale More

​Most of you reading this are friends of mine, so I'll skip the press release voice.

​I wrote a book. It comes out September 16, and that evening we're throwing a party in San Francisco. I'd love you in the room.

​What it's about: scaling your company shouldn't cost your health, your family, or your sanity. Most of us wear busy like a badge and call it commitment. Some of us quietly avoid growing at all to protect some kind of life, and then feel guilty about that too.

​Busy is not a time management problem. It's an identity problem.

​What actually happens that night:

• ​Stories from the book, including one or two I probably shouldn't tell

• ​The four sins that quietly turn a leader into their own company's bottleneck: poor delegation, micromanagement, perfectionism, and strategic myopia

• ​The live assessment, sixteen questions and four minutes, plus the Delusion Gap: what your team would say if they scored you on the same questions

• ​Everybody goes home with a book. Free. No catch, no upsell.

• ​Food and drinks, obviously!

​It's also my birthday. There will be no cake and no singing. You have my word.

​Wednesday, September 16 · 5:30 to 8:30pm
Mechanics' Institute Library, 57 Post Street, San Francisco

​Sponsored by our friends at Trainual. Hosted by EO San Francisco.

​Hit RSVP so we know how much food to order. That's the only reason I need a headcount.
