What is the hardest things you ever worked at?
It’s such an interesting question, right? When I thought about it, I immediately thought: “MavenHut”! I’ve never felt as tired as I felt while building that company, so that was my first answer.
But was that the hardest thing I’ve ever worked at? I mean, yeah, it was hard WHILE doing it, but I didn’t specifically work hard to create that opportunity.
Then I thought of a big campaign I’ve been a part of creating and running while I was blogging: Rediscover Romania (Redescopera Romania). That was hard as well, but again, it was hard while doing it, not working AT it.
And I think I worked the hardest at my relationships: with my family (didn’t really have a great relationship with my mom), with my fiancée (it was really difficult for both of us during my hardest MavenHut years).
What is the hardest things you ever worked at?
It’s an interesting because I always thought the hardest I worked at something was my businesses, my career. But if I look at it, it never seemed as hard as it was working on building and maintaining relationships with the people that matter to me.
It’s an interesting question because it asks you how much you WANTED something, how much effort you put into something happening. And that’s a lot different than the effort you put into something while it happens.
Oh, and I got the question while listening to the Building Bridges podcast episode with Toni Cowan-Brown from Idee Fixe newsletter.
