You know, you do too much.

No such thing! If anything we don't do enough!

You have to rest at some point. Or else bad things happen.

Yeah, but I think I have the hang of it this time. Plus, if I don't work hard, I won't get anything done in a reasonable time.

Have you ever stopped to think that you're comparing your individual output to what large teams put out professionally? The reason they can keep up with their release schedules is because they have a lot of help and have plotted it out. You don't have those resources.

Not with that attitude! I have plenty of people helping me.

Well, for some of your projects. A lot of them are still just you. And you still hold yourself to a grueling release schedule. I'm worried.

I'm worried at what will happen if I wait. If I don't go full speed ahead right now, I may never get to. I don't want to lose my chance.

There's always a chance to be had and a deal to be made. Opportunities will still be there for you.

That's not been my experience. If I don't move quickly, things fizzle out. I've seen it happen time and time again. And I don't want it to happen this time. I'd be crushed. I don't think you understand how much I want this.

Oh, I want it too. I just have a bit more faith in us than you do.

And that's your problem. You shouldn't. The only thing sitting around does is waste time. You don't have people knocking down your door with offers. You have to make the opportunity or nothing will happen.

Not with that attitude.

Touché.
