Yeah, it's great that I came out against hair dressers whose hair looks like crap in a previous post about eating your own dogfood. Poor people, I found out today how easy it is to be negligent in an area of supposed expertise.
See, I went to see my accountant today (Sunday) and have my taxes done (Pipe down with the hypocrisy exclamation mark: Saturday is my Sabbath). And lo and behold, I'd done an A+ sucky job of systematizing my finances over the past year. I had everything we needed with me... it just took eons to find it all. Not that I'm a finance whiz, but I do tell everyone else to create Projects that turn into Operations - Processes... and meanwhile, I've piled crap onto crap in my own situation. The hell with eating my own dogfood, I need water wings as I'm swimming in the by-product. I made the damn VSS template set... I guess I could live by it in EVERY area of my business, not just those I enjoy (hello Marketing, hello R&D, hello Training & Consulting).
And God bless my accountant, who has given me what I feel is a framework to turn 2008 into the year I systematize financial processes like Lil' Wayne makes mix tapes. I'd give her a shoutout by name, but I haven't a clue if she wants to join this online freakfest I've created at the Underlying Blog. I'm a freakfest! Beautiful.
So, where are you falling short in practicing what you preach, and what is the next action you can take to fix it?
Tonight, my own dogfood smells like crap... tomorrow, I have to eat it. Me, I'll be process mapping some financial stuffery.
So the hypocrite rides again. I'm hungry, it's time for lucky charms.
That's life, and that's the way it is, and it's a good problem to have.
My my, I won't shutup. LUCKY CHARMS.
Careful. Don't use the terminology, 'expertise in my field" too loosly. There are fewer experts in YOUR FIELD than you can imagine! A year and a half ago I went and had a chemical straightening procedure done on my THICK, CURLY hair. To this day I have to wear my thin, skinny hair as a Friar Tucki comb-over because the incompetent bitch fried my hair! She then proceded to deny it and lie about it. I still have a bald patch on the front of my head where this so-called stylist actually burned my scalp. This was supposed to be an 'up-scale" salon. I should have sued the bitch but I actually thought my hair would grow back. Her screw up has cost me thousands! Thanks Sherri M. !
