Resources to nourish the left brain that craves data. Improve your versatility with business metrics. Get fluent with financial ratios. Grow your confidence in decision-making. Build rhythms and steady signals for you and your team.
The operational is interpersonal. Resources to develop your understanding of others and yourself. Grow trust in the intuitive right brain and grasp the bigger picture. It's a lot about people, and learning to collaborate.
Coming in 2024
You make lots of decisions. Yes. No. Yes.
Sometimes our yes's are actually No's.
When we give a dirty yes it makes everything harder.
It becomes a change in direction for everybody when our initial yes reveals itself as an actual No.
Delays. Disruptions among our people. More grind for everyone.
Just more.
What if we could do less, without settling?
If we were clear inside, if we really listened to others and ourselves, what might change?
How would your Yes feel then?
How would it feel to those who work alongside you?
At a moment of decision, when something inside you braces, recoils, or freezes, that's an important signal. Feels more like a No.
Alternately, when we feel warm affirmation and a conviction of heart, that's also a signal.
Navigating these signals, and helping others do similarly, is the not-so-easy-work that's asked of us as leaders.
This work can be a humbling practice, and eventually fortifying.
When a change happens inside, our yes becomes Yes. Our no becomes No.
Then change outside ourselves -- the kind of growth we wanted all along in our relationships, in our companies -- becomes possible.
Growth may start to feel inevitable.
We start to flow.
Flow means our work feels like swimming with a river's current, rather than crossing against it.
It's not just efficient. Flow feels playful and brings a feeling of ease across the team.
That's what I'm wanting more of in the second half of my entrepreneurial journey:
More flow, less grind.
My name is Patrick Pitman. For 20+ years I've owned tech, service and educational companies. I've done a lot of grinding. A lot of hustle.
If you've read this far, you might be wanting to find a path that feels easier. I do.

I live in Austin, Texas, but often return to Montana where I grew up and am pictured here. Today I operate ebusiness pros, an email marketing agency for manufacturing & CPG brands who want to build their Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) ecommerce sales channel. I also own ebusinessWP, a WordPress support service. Find me on LinkedIn and X.
I want to connect with teachers, coaches, writers, and company leaders with something to say about two themes: People & Numbers.
