I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Bungay Stanier a couple of years ago and contributing to his book, Do More Great Work: Stop the Busywork. Start the Work That Matters. It’s full of inspiration, insights and advice on getting your priorities straight in your business and focusing on the best and highest use of your time. It features the likes of Seth Godin, Michael Port, Dave Ulrich and Leo Babauta, among others.
I was also interviewed by Michael, and it’s now up at Great Work Interviews. In it, Michael and I discuss:
- How it’s become more acceptable to have a “portfolio career” with your finger in many pies (or “high level ADD” as I call it)
- Why hyper-specialization, where you spend 80 hours a week doing one job, doesn’t work for everyone
- Being a hunter in a farmer’s world
- Those times you look for great work and don’t find it
- How to figure out what you’re passionate about and choose a business to start
- Networking and releasing control
