!["Mom, can you drive me to school today?"
Those were the words that led us towards a downward spiral before school this morning.
Hear me out, I'm not a strict mom. My kids (almost 15 and almost 13) don't have too many rules (so long as they understand that no means no), they're allowed to ask "why" (when it makes sense) and be active participants in what their days and lives look like. I allow mental health days from school just cuz. I think homework is stupid. And I think our kids have way too much asked of them these days.
So when he asked me this, I asked him why. I knew we were in for something magical when his voice shifted into Academy Award Winning tone and inflection.
"It's 7 degrees with a negative 6 degree wind chill! I just don't want to walk that far [50 feet] and wait outside [he can watch from the door] in the cold"
Hmmm... no, I don't think I will. Go grab your jacket.
THE. AUDACITY. (But seriously, why are teens allergic to coats?!)
"But it's soooooo inconvenient!"
Sooooo, you want me to walk outside to warm the car up (10 feet from the bus stop), come back in while it heats up, walk back out to the car with you 10 feet from the bus stop, drive you to school, sit in the godforsaken parent pick drop off line and then drive all the way back home?
The rest of this story doesn't really matter. The end result does (he rode the bus, he wore a coat). He begrudgingly wore that comfortably inconvenient coat and road the warm bus 7 minutes to school.
After he left, I thought... what an absolute ridiculous, time-wasting, roundabout suggestion this kid offered up. And then I realized, that dang kid is me! And this was a pretty accurate representation of my entrepreneurial journey!
How many times as entrepreneurs do we make our lives infinitely more difficult, waste a shit ton of time, drag things out, buy courses (his coat) we don't bother using, just to not do the one simple but obvious thing that will lead us on the correct path and towards the end result we're looking for?
Don't tell me I'm the only one. Can you relate?
