All aboard
Time to say “goodbye” to South East Asia and our summer holiday. As we board the Airbus A380 twin deck Singapore Airways beast, I have time to reflect and think about where I need to take my career and business over the remainder of this year and the next two.
A holiday is a great time to sit back and reflect, to think and plan. ( a potential very dangerous place to be.) My mind has not been clogged up with any day to day activities. I have called the office a few times a week and replied to some e-mails, but other than that the business has run itself.
Being away for three weeks is a long time. Even over the summer period, a lot can still happen. The fact that there have not been any emergencies or calls to fend off means two things:
- The internal support mechanism we have is working
- We are not driving the business hard enough
I have made copious notes on thoughts and ideas I have. There is one overriding theme that is bugging me big time though.
Yet again, this theme came about after spending time reading the works of one person. This blog and my enthusiasm to achieve a lot more in my business career was inspired by reading my “little black book.” (See entry on the 4th August. By coincidence, I bought the book in Singapore last October.)
Tomorrow, I will be back in work, and the first thing I will be doing is to make a new personal statement to myself.
