I feel you!

After 12 years of getting increasingly good at strategy work I felt really silly trying my hand at something completely new like learning how to write or learning how to do web design. So many times I’ve felt like a dinosaur.. The bad feeling comes from the fact that I hadn’t learned something radically new in way too long. I’d forgotten how hard it is to learn something from scratch..

Hope you enjoy the trek, I’m looking forward to hearing about it in your next letter!

Maybe that’s it...I haven’t learned a new skill in so long that it’s making me feel adolescent. Which I shouldn’t consider a bad thing, I should be embracing it and pushing myself further!
