To be spoilt for choice

Hey Guys!

Do you know the situation, when you know you have to do something but you just don’t…?!

I’ve found once again the comparative: I know I should do something, I even know what I should do, but I don’t!! Why? Because I lie to myself!

What do I mean?

- As you know I’m jobless right now. But I don’t do any applications, because in the last weeks I received plenty of offers – even if the market-situation isn’t on a high peak. But I drag myself with the decision. On the one side I’ve committed to a job in August as a director for sales & marketing. On the other side I should secure myself by also searching for an alternative. (-Just in case - to have a plan B)

But as usual I’ve got an explanation: I’ve already got something like a plan B! I’m still on a project with commodities. If this project will succeed, I’ve got a monthly income that can provide me for a one-year-distance. And so silly I am I just risk the lean time! And here the lie is hidden! In fact I should focus how I can provide the project into success. At least I should set some milestones. Because the whole matter is also reliant to other peoples, I’m just content with the situation as whole! I guess by writing this post I’m also getting clear that I should set this milestones for me! I shouldn’t make it reliant to other peoples! Because I’ve got a quite pragmatic view I know what it needs to succeed – so it’s just a must have for me. If I make it reliant to others, it probably won’t fulfil the way I want. I’ve learned project management in my studies – it’s time to use it. At my studies, I had the highest mark in this subject of our school. It’s time to use the learned…

Now to build a positive pressure in me, I need again to keep up the following rule: I can… / I will… / I must…!!! (If I can, I’ve an option. If I will, I’m on the way to do so. If I must, I’m already in the thick of it)

And that I can control my improvement I need to set the plan into the contact to box sequence! (The main four steps in this sequence are: Contact, Possible, Probable, Box)

Super heavy will be the July 08! I haven’t got a clue how to come along in this month. I just trust in God! I know he won’t let me fall and there’s a reason for the situation and position I’m involved right now. From my spiritual view, I look at it like a test! A test if I’m worth a chance! And I believe I am!

Time of waiting – again!

Cheereo tutti!

In the last days, it seemed like my life would pass by in slow motion. Are you familiar with such situations? ;-)

You know, that you should make some important decisions, but you always postpone them. Not because you’re to lazy or as such, but you still hope the big deal will set in and for this reason, you postpone all other. Right know it’s exactly like what I find again in my small world.

But at least I made it the S.M.A.R.T. way… (More details some posts before)

I’ve been very specific (S.) and know exactly my deadline on the issue with the ‘big-deal’. –Till end of this month – I know from when on I can start with plan B and which partners will be involved.

I’ve also been very keen in setting goals with milestones! (M. = Measurable + A. = Attainable)

Insofar I’ve set any of these goals in a realistic (R.) way. On the one hand I’ve got this ‘big-deal’ to work as a Head of International Projects for/with a start-up company that just started. But if this won’t work out, I can start (plan B) on the other hand as a Sales Director for a company, which is already very unshaken with their position in the market and already exists since more than twenty years! –I guess this includes also ‘tangible’ (T.) ;-)

So here again, in the moment nothing else is left over than waiting… waiting and hoping – but not naive hoping! =)

Harry, be patient!
