A Friday series exploring Startups and the people who make them go. Read all If the Shoe Fits posts here

5726760809_bf0bf0f558_mBackground: Long-term readers know I spend a lot of time in my yard. It’s taken 10 years for me to actually like it, although people have been stopping to compliment me for at least five years.

Back then a friend gave me a split-image picture showing two yards, one lush and the other bare dirt with a few scraggly plants. The lush image is labeled “fantasy” and the other “reality.”

Imagine my surprise when I scrolled through my LinkedIn feed (a rare occurrence) and found the startup (all life, actually) version of my split-image garden.

It was posted by Andy Adams CEO, GreenEcho, LLC and it speaks for itself.plan-reality

So remember, nobody ever said reality was easy — doable, but not easy.
