Now, it\u2019s onto soccer games, hearing the high school band from my front porch on Friday nights, and (dare I say it?) making homemade pumpkin spice lattes.<\/p>\n<p>But as we start September, I want to remind you that every beginning of the month gives us a <em>new<\/em> opportunity. It doesn\u2019t matter what went wrong this past month\u2026 or which projects you wanted to work on but never got to. Every new month is an opportunity to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calibrate your product team so that everybody is on the same page.<\/li>\n<li>Plan those customer visits you may have been putting off.<\/li>\n<li>Revisit your roadmap once more to make sure that everything is still relevant.<\/li>\n<li>Commit to saying \u201cno\u201d when you need to.<\/li>\n<li>Finding a way to make \u201cyes\u201d possible when it\u2019s the right thing to do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get caught in the everyday rut of just\u2026 doing our job. But every so often, we need to give ourselves a kick in the pants. I think the beginning of every month can be that built-in kick in the pants that we need.<\/p>\n<p>So, enjoy your Labor Day weekend \u2013 you do deserve that.
