Wowy week

Hello guys,

Sorry I didn't come up for such a long time. I was extremely engaged in the last days. Where shall I start?

My first own closed deal is done! ;-))) So what does it mean? That means, that I acquire the customer, than I had to deal the meeting with him, I shaped the contract with him and at last I made the final box (signature on the contract). The amount has been this time by 100’000 bucks. Now I still have got another 200 Millions in the pipeline and hope that more of them will follow.

Something less positive was a battle royal with a chat-room user in the chat where I’m a member. A young pussy, that since more than half a year tried to abuse my profile to hit Fabienne. Not because of any given reason, just as a valve for her own pleasure. Since more than six months I told her again and again, that she shall, sorry this expression, piss off! But unfortunately, she didn’t. She even hit stronger expression and still went ruder than all times before! Finally I’m fed up with it. I started to make some research and someone told me, that her father died this year. On her chat-room-profile she even had a picture of him there. And now guess what I did? I actually didn’t make it that gruffly. First I told her to let off for the last time. I asked her really very polite, but still no reaction, even more force came back, like I shouldn’t lurk her! And at this point I didn’t swallow any more. I gave action. I copied the pic of her father and uploaded it into my profile, with the comment: “Do you really want to wage a war with me? –Better don’t, you’ll loose!” Oh you should have seen this reaction of other users, all of a sudden, fifty comments came in, like: “You damn bastard, if I’ll see you on the street, I’ll kill you!” And more… My reaction on these comments was just: “Dear me…” And it seemed like this kind of answer has still provoke them more. But, the girly didn’t start to give back. She was quit and didn’t say one word more. As I told, I finally think, she got the point! Did I like to do this? –No way!!! I knew exactly, that many people will find this disgusting. It cloyed me even self. But what should I have done at this point? She forced me to take an exceptional reaction. And I studied a long time at this, if I really shall do it. And so I did it finally, because I didn’t see another possibility. And now the punch line comes. Today is the day after this whole shit and as I opened my mailbox of this chat-room, I had plenty of users congratulating me! People who say, that I made a good job. Or comments like: “Good guy, finally someone had the guts to smack that bitch!” Wow, you can’t imagine, how that felt for me, at the day before, I cloyed myself and on the next day people laud me! Crazy world!!! ;-)))

My days really did become longer. In the last days, my average working time is between 12 to 16 hours a day! Isn’t that foolish? But as it seems, it will give me also a payout at last. On the other side, I don’t believe I tell you this, I find it a kind of amused. Yes, I’m a fuck’ workaholic and I try to get fun on it…

Days become longer ;-)

HelloU

Since I started to gain more business where ever I can, my days become longer... But at least with much more style. Like today! I stood up, didn't hustle, just went slowly out of bed, made breakfast and ate, went to the bath and did my mornings. Left home and drove directly to the gym. There I made an “one hour workout” and visited the spa’ area for at least half an hour and finally went to work.

I didn’t close a deal today, but I made many things to gain more business in future. For example I won a new broker for me. Than a customer visited us here – unfortunately we had to neglect his query. Over lunch I went eating with my honey Fabienne. –Well it was not really eating lunch! We where in McDonald’s! A restaurant which you can just visited from time to time… maybe once a month maximal. :-P

In the afternoon I had an other customer with his whole committee (almost all members of the board where here). That has been a party… really very funny these guys. One explained me the whole stuff of how their product works. The other guy told me about their financial situation. Again an other guy has been responsible for the marketing. And the CEO as well owner of the company just narrate how the whole company started, like three generations ago, and so on…

Finally my boss and I asked them different questions regarding their securities within the next two years and as they couldn’t approach us on this, we finally disinvited them again. But honest, it has been very funny and I learned a lot about how you don’t have to do things in a presentation. :-D

Now it’s again half past eight in the evening and I finally worked again over 10 hours and still have to drive home. Regrettably I can’t write you tomorrow. Because from 10 o’clock a.m. I have to visit again a meeting. From then on, my day is full pushed with appointments and is scheduled up to seven in the evening. On days like this one, I really feel myself happy and fatigue. But in a way, where it’s very bearable. Do you get my point?

I want to proof you guys, that with hard and smart working, maybe your days become longer, but finally I’m sure, that it’s it worth! Never ever give up spending time for a profitable future.

Ciao tutti!

Yesterday evening I had a meeting with my project-group. As we where on to discuss our duties, we finally have seen, that we already have done more, than first expected. Really good, that I’m the project-leader, so I could organize the whole overview in shortest time! Of more than ten posts, we already are in the closure phase of four of them. In normal term, this kind of fulfillment would set in maybe just in the next two to three months, but two of our team made already much spadework. Thank you guys…

As well my business starts to move in a new hemisphere. During the meeting, one of my customers called me at almost 8 p.m.!!! He commit, that his business partners and himself decided, to give my 0.5% of the closure-amount of the whole deal as a provision. –Just like that! The only “if” is, that we still have to approve it! But I know that we wanted it already for such a long time… Now it looks like we could do it. So this kind of deal is anyway an exceptional one. And the earning with it is a very nice amount in the region of a deeper 6-digit number…

This morning I had a super nice experience as well. One of our customers called up and asked how far we’re with his query. In regard of it, he doesn’t think, that he can afford to take our money as it’s too expensive. So I asked him: “What do you mean with its too expensive?” Than he told me, that through our agent, the agent want’s an other 25% from the finance amount, we would give him. –First I thought he’s making jokes, but than I thought about the legality of it and unfortunately it’s allowed! –Shit, I thought first. But than my brilliance elegant solution came up! (Not that you think I’m getting slaphappy) I’m in need of the customer, but I’m also in need of this agent. How can I turn both content? Well the agent actually already receives a provision from our contract, but he wanted to earn both sides. A kind of unfair!

But the agent didn’t sign yet his agency agreement with us because he wanted still to make some changes, so what I did is the following: I went to our counsel and asked him, if before he sends out the agreement, he still could make a slightly change. I told him to add a new paragraph where it’s written, that our agents aren’t allowed to take (double) commission of our customers. And as our counsel said, it’s legal to insert such a paragraph.

Than I called the customer and told him, still to wait before signing our contract for the financing till the agent countersigned our agreement. In this case, the contract between our customer and our agent is null and void! :-D

I’m a fuck’ genius! *muahahahahaaaaa*

Well… -just kidding, but I’m really proud the way I could handle this strange issue. Now the customer is happy and will sign the contract with us and our agent can’t do anything else then be happy with the provision he already receives from us.

Salut

Unbelievable! I'm just running into the office. Hand-out my project-planning and explain it shortly. Now finished and have to leave again, because in less then 90 minutes I've to be again in Zurich for a meeting.

And do you know what? I'm loving it... :-D

So tomorrow I'll give you again a detailed post about my on-going!

Ciao!

My last weekend has been great. On Friday my friends visited me and on Saturday Fabienne and I went to my mummy to eat Raclette (for those, who don’t know what this is, it’s something similar like cheese-fondue – just an other Swiss specialty). And yesterday we stayed at home, just in the afternoon I showed my honey the slums of Switzerland. I made some pix, so you may have a look at them. What I didn’t know for such a long time was that this area is quite near to my accommodation! Just like 100 Meters away from me this area starts!

Yeah, I don’t make good advertisement for my country if you see those pix, but I have to tell you, that we’ve got also other cities, where they’ve got the same problem. How come we, the supreme city of the whole world – as you know best awarded city now for more than four years in a row – has got such a problem? –A slum area!

As my luv and I looked at them, we discussed some possibilities. Like, each person in Switzerland has the chance to become more. Those guys there don’t want! They decided once upon a time, that it would be easier to be on our pocket/mean. I’m just a little addled regarding this issue; I have never expected that Switzerland has got such black spots on their clean slate!

Today I was so down when I went to work. Not because the story I just wrote. Just because I was sooooooo tired. I thought I wouldn’t make one deal today, but than my inner voice started to razz me! “Common Harry boy! Just get up and move! Every day without making a deal is a lost day and you can’t afford any lost days more, as you know your situation, nor?????” Bastard! This stupid bothersome voice in me didn’t stop till I finally closed two deals… :-D

In the meantime I’m again pushed throughout this result and look already forward on the next day. This afternoon I’ve to create and finish a whole project planning! It’s no bed of roses! Probably I’ll stay again in the office like 7-8 p.m.! But never mind, what else would I have to do on a beautiful Monday afternoon???

As you, dear reader, could see in the last days and weeks, many crazy and shitty things happened in my life. But I hope you also see, that it doesn’t depend in which situation I am, I still got the belief, that all will change to the best. And more important than that is, that I not just ‘hope’ – I also move! And this I believe is the key to success! After I strengthen my belief, that things won’t stay the way they are right now – you need to give an action! And you have to stay on track with the right questions. Question that will move you upon your situation into a positive goal! I stopped to ask myself question, where I start to doubt things! It won’t bring you any further! And honestly, when you start? ;-)

Switzerland is white white white

chepas!

And with this title I don't mean it the right wing way... As I drove to work this morning, I just had to make some pix. Look at my outview, that I've got each morning by nice weather on the way to work! Isn't it just marvelous?

Today I've done many things in advance to prepair my weekend and next week. Actually, I wanted to go to training again, but unfortunately I'm running once again out of time.
