1189. Refreshing Perspective on Productivity Catapults Her into a New Career

“When you work for one company for a long time, at some point you start to realize, do I want to consider doing anything else as a career? I had really had my whole adult career post-college at Julian Krinsky Camps and Programs. And it was tremendous. It was amazing. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But there was a percentage of me that was starting to feel like, ‘All right, let’s see what else is out there.’

“I had been thinking about Productivity. I have been a student of productivity. I love productivity. I do podcasts about productivity. I read about productivity. I just love it so much. And at the same time, everyone I was talking to, when I would say ‘Hi. How are you?’ they would answer. ‘I’m busy. I’m stressed out. I’m burned out. I’m overwhelmed.’ It was like every person I’m talking to is feeling this way. So what can I do about it? And I had this idea, maybe I should start a productivity company. Don, I had no idea what that actually meant. I just thought I have an idea. And a few people said to me, it’s a good one. And I had one person say to me, ‘What if you did?’ I will say that moment changed everything.”
