Need to get back in focus

Posted in Simple Thoughts on July 29th, 2008 by admin

Yesterday I had a short business review with my mentor - and I really appreciate him for his time and advice.

Frankly, things are not going as well as it is supposed to be - I’m still not doing enough to make sure things are moving the way it needs to be.

In our short discussion, I realised again that I have in a sense “lost the dream” once again.

I’d admit, its very easy to lose focus when you have a regular 9am to 6am job. Afterall, its 9 hours of of your life everyday - a third of your life spent in a boring cubical.

Life is also full of distractions. Recently I had tonnes of them.

Last week, my computer fan messed up - and I had to send it back to IBM. When it came back, after some minor software updates, the operating system just refused to load. Spent the whole Sunday formatting it… and then it crashed again. Formatted again… and yesterday I almost lost my entire partition of data (all my data). Good thing it was recovered.

It doesn’t feel excellent to be surviving on total 6 hours of sleep for the last 2 days and knowing you won’t be really sleeping soundly until the weekend.

But I think I need to get back in focus. Daryl asked me yesterday - if I can guarantee a I’ll get $80,000 if I show 30 plans from now till the coming WLS, will there be a problem doing it?

I’m just not focusing on the right things recently.

Things will get better today. :)

Have you ever had Monday blues?

Posted in Simple Thoughts on July 21st, 2008 by admin

I do! I’m having one now… and I just felt mine wasn’t blue - mine is horribly stinky black. My alarm went off at 7am, and I snoozed until 7:20am, and had to drag myself out of bed, wash up, iron my working attire, and get out of home before 7.50am.

Then I had to squeeze in that sardine packed MRT train for 40 minutes, travel to the city, rush through my breakfast and then rush up to my workplace to face people I don’t particularly like to face on a sleepy Monday morning.

Get this right (and I won’t try to be diplomatic here)… THIS FEELING TOTALLY STINKS! I hate it! I hate my job. I hate doing this today, and I don’t want to do this for 40 years to come!

I will remember this feeling - to propel me forward and build my N21 business! 1 year from now, I will be sleeping LATE on Mondays.

My ticker has started. Has yours?
