Lesson: Preparation

OK, I'll keep this short and sweet.

I had a meeting the other day. I knew the material, but I didn't bother to prep (because I was busy). I didn't come in with any insights, and I was short a coffee and a lunch.

The result was a rather lackluster meeting.

So the lesson is to do the work and prep for your meetings, especially if, like me, you're not the kind of guy who can do it off the cuff.
