<p><strong>What’s on your business owner to-do list? Here’s a peek at mine, full of items large, small, and existential.</strong> This is another crossover from <a href="http://rollingindoh.substack.com/">Rolling in D🤦🏻‍♀️h</a>, a recent essay that was an unexpected runaway hit—the most popular to date in the six months since I started on Substack.</p><p>I had no idea (as usual) whether it would resonate or not when I hit “publish,” until my friend Adam texted to say how much he could relate. “Your comments are blowing up!” he said, sending a screenshot of other people letting me know that I wasn’t alone in my itemized anxiety.</p><p>Enormous thanks to those of you who have already subscribed, read, commented, and shared—it means the world to me!</p><h3></h3><h3>📝 <strong>Permission</strong>
