I have been silent for quite a while on my blog because I was going through an evolution in my business and my own life that I thought demanded my full and undivided attention and that culminated in me applying for my new and hopefully final visa to stay in the United States. But these last months have been the time for a huge transformation in my attitude toward work and in my plans for the future and I have made some major progress in establishing a new and better direction that will expand even more my activities by bringing together everything I have learned so far.
My repositioning is still underway but I want to share with you my evolution because I have realized that actually continual evolution and change are a necessary ingredient in today’s world. You can never reach the perfect setup, the perfect positioning, the perfect knowledge, since every day and week there might be changes that bring major shifts to your operation and to your way of viewing things.
So I will share with you the changes, and the methods I am using to master them, hoping you find them valuable. The key concept here is mastering the various phases and motions that life demands of us while focusing more and more on a set direction a and making so that our eventual destination is reached despite all the detours, but also be ready to change destination as soon as we realize that we got onto a wrong course or that there is a better a more direct way to get where we want.
Quitting is not necessarily wrong, actually it is very right sometimes. Seth Godin, in his book “The Dip: A Little Book that Tells You When To Quit (and when to Stick)” tells us: “Sometimes we get discouraged and turn to inspirational writing, like stuff from Vince Lombardi: “Quitters never win and winners never quit”. Bad advice. Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time.”
Choosing when to stay and when to go is in itself an ability and I believe that in this era of excessive information and “biased” information everybody gets swamped under an overwhelming number of options and doesn’t quite know where to go and why he should got there in the first place, and when to quit doing what he is doing and going somewhere else.
I have not transformed my self in a new self-help motivational guru, not yet at least. Don’t worry, but I believe that my down to earth experience as a real entrepreneur faced with the real challenges everybody faces every day, main of which the challenge of change, can offer some good and honest advice by sharing with you my itinerary and talking also about my business of course. In the end I have managed not only to change country, language, culture and business altogether, but I have also succeeded in pulling it through and coming out at the other end with a much bigger experience and with a better understanding of how to find the best directions ans more importantly how to change them when it is needed.
Let me know if you like this kind of subject and what you would like to know more on it, and I will do my best to offer you valuable contributions that will help you manage your change.
