What a busy week for business! I'm up to six business contracts and two volunteer projects. My sister thinks I should stop volunteering my services but I know the tie into this organization is going to bring me more money, so it doesn't pay not to give. Make sense?
I have been, as I said earlier, quite deliberate about setting myself up in an organized fashion. This is going to pay off in spades as the work pours in and I need to assess whether I can accomplish what I'm promising. In order to pay may bills and debts (mortgage) effectively I am only about a 1/4 of the way there in dollar amounts. I'm fairly confident that some of my current contracts could put me up to 1/3 of the way.
I have been hired by one organization to do executive coaching for the leader. He has a Masters in Leadership so I find it interesting that he wants my services. We met for almost two hours the first time and are planning our second meeting next week. He tells me he finds me to be trustworthy and in touch with the sector, says he feels a strong connection with my ideas. He has influence in the community I'm trying to synch myself with, so this is a very good thing!
Last week I had a nightmare that I would lose all my teeth because I couldn't afford a dentist, this week I feel like I could get a filling if I wanted it, maybe not a root canal. I'm certainly encouraged by recent developments - gotta say!!
I also discovered that I have a label. I'm a social entrepreneur! I'm developing a business that supports those who have social causes.
Favorite quote of the week: "Success is the point where your most authentic talents, passion, values, and experience intersect with the chance to contribute to some greater good." Bill Strickland
I feel like the quote sums up my personal belief. Thanks Bill.
