We started to get serious about our start up in August. Finished the long / summary bus plan in Sept / started to move things forward in Sept and have been trying to get things going since then
Little forward movement despite what seems like endless effort, networking, marketing etc
So yesterday was deep discouragement day.
Finally kicked it by watching a 1933 John Wayne movie (Hurricane Express) last night.
But December is re-evaluation and re-orientation month for me.
Am into serious thought / dialogue about what we are up to and whether or not it will work.
Too early too tell where it will come out. But the process feels right, even as we persist on our current path at the same time.
Back to the sales calls … …

Roelf, this not the time for discouraging thoughts. It does take time to startup a new venture. A minimum of 6 months before the first contract shows up and even then it is pitiful if we compared to our past revenue.
How about making December a month to take one spiritual temperature?
If I can share my thought that spiritual awareness is what triggers our balance. Spirit, Mind and Body.
It is easy for me to say, of course, because I am lying on an hospital bed after a knee replacement surgery. I am in recovery until end of January. I will enjoy this time to rebuild my positive thoughts reserve. One think for sure I learned over the past few years of tough consulting and self-contracting is that I cannot move forward until I let go of the past. My previous engagements provided me great financial rewards. But they are in the past. I need to find a new model, learning from the past for sure, but not trying to duplicate it. What is done is done. Spirit, mind and body in tight harmony is part of that new model.
