Placeholder for recap of the week
Words of the week:
- Japan: I had a meeting with a prospective Japanese client. It’s a culture that I don’t know well at all, and where respect for culture is paramount. It’s probably the most nervous I’ve been in a very long time. Making sure not to offend in any sort of way, and knowing that Westerners are quick to offend with our more cavalier style of business.
- Resolve: I am more focused than ever on my business, and working on building it up as fast as I can. I am not worried about the growth pain, not that I am oblivious to it, but I am seeking it to overcome it.
- Global: I’m pushing the envelope of my business as a global business, and having a global footprint, even if I am not there. I need to have goals to be larger than I am, and need to visualize this.
Number of the Week:
- 81: My father turned 81 this past week. He’s had a long and prosperous life, and I’m amazed that he’s still not retired.
