At the mercy

You can’t just hit Send, and forget.

You have to tie everything to a piece of string marked Follow-up.

It would be lovely if you didn’t have to.

It would be lovely if everybody and everything always played out exactly as imagined. If C followed B followed A every time in every way.

Back here in the real world, it doesn’t work like that. 

If you don’t follow up you’re leaving yourselves in the hands (and your immediate future at the mercy) of others.

It’s easier, and higher risk.

So which do you want?

A (seemingly) easy (in the short term) life, where things may or may not go as you hoped. Or more involvement, where you know what’s going on and have the opportunity to nudge things back into line when they look to be wandering off track.
