The last post (or this one really), may be my last post for awhile. I have decided to bite the bullet and follow my dream of starting my own business. I have been reading everything over the last 2 years on management, what makes a business successful, innovation, sales and marketing (and a lot more in between). Until two very simple things came together to make me take action. The first was Earl Nightingale’s “The Strangest Secret” (see below) and (again) something from Jeffrey Gitomer: “You already know what to do – you’re just not doing it”.
So what is “The Strangest Secret”? – Five simple things that you can work on to become as successful as you want:
1. We become what we think.
2. Limitations are self-imposed.
3. Have courage.
4. Save money.
5. Take action.
So, I’m taking a dash of courage and a whole lot of action and starting my own Strategic IT Consulting company (called Quantim Consulting). It’s time for me to put what I already know into practice and see what I can do (and learn) for myself.
I’m sure I will keep blogging in some form, but it will likely focus on Strategic IT Consulting for awhile. But you never know, I might find the time to come back here every now and then and share some of my learning’s.
Remember: “Life is an exciting adventure – enjoy the journey” (Earl Nightingale). I wish you every success and a prosperous New Year.
