Cindee is one of the chicest women I have encountered as an adult. She believes in the power of basic black and the necessity of a fantastic belt. On a weeknight hall pass, I caught up with her over roasted Brussel sprouts and a glass of wine.
Cindee is hitting a wall in her business. It’s the kind of wall that chases a person down the street, trying to edge in front of them for attention. She and the wall are not getting along. It’s bringing her down and chipping away at her motivation.
We discussed small ways to overcome some of the obstacles she is experiencing as a new entrepreneur. I had no easy answers. There are times when we are talking to people and our only desire is to offer solutions. I’m not sure Cindee wants to conjure up solutions over beef kebab. It’s nice to have deep conversations about love, life and happiness, but sometimes, it’s nice to just sit back, lean up against the wall and rest.
And I’m learning that part of having a really great talk, is listening.
