The Monday Morning Building Product Advisor
​Issue #106

This weekend, I spent my early mornings writing. [Like I do every day of the week.]

That's just what you do when you have a newsletter, awesome coaching clients, plus a full-time architecture gig. But, with several deadlines converging on all fronts, this weekend was split between client work and an architectural project.

So, I let my wife know I'd be a grubby pup this weekend, secluded in my basement office all day, both days. She didn't like it, but knows the drill when I have deadlines.

Then, around 10:00 on Saturday morning, I heard my son come home. So, I stopped, went upstairs to refill my coffee, and see how he's doing. He said, "I'm doing great! Just getting ready for my concert this afternoon."

"Wait, what?!? You have a concert today? It's not on the calendar..."

Well, it was. I just missed it.

And I try to never miss his performances if I can. So I told him we'd be there. And scurried off to get ready to be seen in public. All in all, I lost about 5 hours of planned writing and "architecting" time that day.

Of course, it was worth it, but...

Something had to give

This is my "beatin'-'round-the-bush" way to tell you, I didn't have time to write today's newsletter.

But, with my son's concert...

...and the fact that I've been getting several questions about getting past the gatekeepers at architecture firms...

...I realized I had just the thing for you.

For those of you who have been part of my online family for a while, this is a great reminder.

And for those of you who are new here, this should help.

Here's a link to one of my personal favorites from the newsletter archives:

That's it for this week!

Cheers to building more than just buildings, and see you next week,
