A waitlist feels like proof you've made it — but it's also a decision being deferred. What it's really telling you, and the choices it forces.

There's a particular kind of pride in telling someone your books are full and there's a three-week wait to get in. It sounds like success, and in one sense it is. But a waitlist is also an unanswered question sitting quietly in the business: are you charging enough, should you be seeing more people, and what happens to the person who needed you this week but can't wait three? This Conversation is about reading the waitlist properly instead of just enjoying it.
