On the bright side of my life and it's pretty dark at the momento, I had my first call from a potential customer. Left a comment on my work website and I followed up. We plan to meet next week and go over the particulars. I have been very busily getting prepared for his project, it's right up my alley. I get excited by project management and organization. I'm really good at it. I work very well under pressure in all aspects of my life, in fact I seem to need it in order to function. I've wondered if I have attention deficit disorder and need stimulation in order for my brain function properly. I can multi-task like no one's business and need more and more challenge to keep me invested.
I am being very strategic about the eventual growth of my company, right now it's me, myself and I. I envision a larger company where I'm directing a team at some point. I am voraciously reading books on small business so I can absorb the wisdom of people who have been there, done that. I have years of senior management business experience, I have run multimillion dollar companies, but I have never been an owner. I see myself as entrepreneur, manager and technician all rolled up into one. Each of these 'people' are vying for my attention and I need to balance each role out effectively in order for my company to succeed into the far off future (insert Star Wars theme).
I am an incredible solution for my customers, extremely skilled in my area and inexpensive when you look at the big picture, combine that with my friendly personality and it's killer. I have little doubt that I will have more work than I can handle in one year.
