Someone else’s Legos

I like consulting. You find the missing piece of the puzzle and step back, satisfied. A job well done!

And yet, there’s always something that feels… incomplete.

It’s like playing with someone else’s Legos. They’re still fun, exciting, and even rewarding. You get to build something impressive. But eventually, you hand it back, pack up, and go home.

That’s why I keep trying to build startups. Some ideas work, most don’t, but it’s never dull. You don’t hand it back when the assignment is done. You keep building, adjusting, and—when it all falls apart—you pick it up and try again.

Consulting teaches you to solve problems. Startups teach you to live with the consequences and grow through them.

It’s messy. It’s unpredictable. But it’s fun. Well, at least at times!

Have a great start to the week, folks.
