A very interesting week… funny how things come together, or at least how signs become clear. The week started with a lead gone wrong, but only to confirm what I was suspecting. Followed by a meeting with a client that didn’t go too well, but again, confirming what I thought, and triggering me to focus on my current idea.
Words of the week:
- A Big Meal: We had my mother-in-law over for Christmas, and I took it upon myself to make a big meal for Christmas. I really enjoyed the experience of preparing the meal for everyone, and the feedback was that it was fantastic.
- Universe: I am always amazed by how the universe sends you signals when you put yourself out there. I had been courting this one lead for the better part of the year, and kept on having nagging feelings about it. You probably wonder why I would follow something that worried me, but I did to pursue the potential. I finally got confirmation that this was going nowhere. While I’m kicking myself for letting it go that long, I am thankful that I got this signal now, only to help me focus my attention further.
- Distractions: I had a horrendous client meeting that was just filled with distractions. This was a real pain in the neck, but confirmed what I already suspected with this client, namely that they have a hard time focusing on the task at hand.
Number of the Week:
- 24: Both as in the number of hours in the day, but also the day before Christmas. That’s the day that I prepared the meal, but is also the day that my family has always celebrated Christmas (yeah, yeah…).
