A woman asked a construction worker, what are you doing? He said, “I’m laying bricks.” She asked another worker nearby and he said, “I’m chiseling stone.” She asked a third worker and he said, “I’m building a cathedral.” This is a story that was passed on to me by a colleague and I don’t know who originated it. But it inspires me to remember that building a business is important work and to keep my eye on the big picture, even when I am doing what seem like mundane, insignificant tasks.
