Blacksmiths!! I talk about them all the time --
We are like blacksmiths in that we make tools.
We're also like blacksmiths in that we cannot do our job without tools.
This analogy helps me alleviate a lot of the pressure of strategy work.
It's not our job to *know* the answer. It's our job to *know how to find them*.
Love that last bit. (Also, sometimes doing strategy work feels like repeatedly banging a hammer against an anvil)
Just came across your newsletter and I’m loving it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated, Alex.
Thank you!
