So I did something really bad today. I cancelled a meeting with a prominent entrepreneur/investor at the last minute. 

For the second time.

Without going deep into the details my issue was legit. I had an urgent employee oriented operational task that I needed to complete. It was an non-optional business demand. And I had to do the same thing tomorrow morning with an aspiring entreprenuer that asked for 10 minutes of my time.

I hate not having control over my own schedule. If anyone has any tips on how they balance immediate business needs with the desire to be a part of building a great Atlanta tech cluster and pay it forward I would love to hear them. Currently I am trying to do all of the above and failing at the last two.
