Mike: “Silence isn’t empty, it’s full of answers” There are times you get involved in one task where you just start digging in and it’s not working, you have to step away, get a cup of coffee, get some quiet time. Then just think about what’s going on as you start to relax away from that scenario and you focus on a task and how it would fit bigger into a system. Create that space, and allow that answer to come to you that you’re looking for. Don’t just keep drilling.
