Client Relations - Do You Have Clients In Order to Build? |
As a kid, I'd think nothing of organizing a pick-up baseball game.
At the playground you could always find a dozen and a half kids who weren't doing much on their own, or in pairs, and they would welcome a little focused exertion.
Only later as an adult, belonging to a softball team that disintegrated, did I appreciate what a feat it is to find a minimum of 17 other grown-ups to play ball with.
But it's worth it if you love the game.
In a similar vein, many professionals do what they do for the love of their fields. And to borrow a line from Ayn Rand's fictional character, architect John Galt, they express their motivation this way:
"I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build."
