140—Uri Bram—Being Remotely Functional

On small biz buzz this week we've got the founder of article curation site thebrowser.com and author of Thinking Statistically, Uri Bram. "Every day we read hundreds of articles and select our favourite five for you to enjoy, so you'll always have interesting things to ponder and fascinating ideas to discuss at dinner." - The Browser We'll be discussing realistic timelines for "overnight success", how happy subscribers are the most cost effective marketing agency, and how to tell when you're using busy work to hide from your real responsibilities. "I always took pride that I answered every email, and I went over subscriber rater... It never ends. you clear your inbox and then you wake up in the morning and there's another. I think we're all traumatized.  A lot of the things I was doing, I enjoyed them because I had gotten good at them. But actually, it didn't need to be me doing them. It didn't really take expertise even. They were the simpler tasks. And I was procrastinating from the harder tasks by the simpler tasks. And what I really needed to do is hand off the simpler tasks." - Uri Bram
