All Work and No Play, No Way!

Carnival Valor

Carnival Valor

So I just got back from a week of cruising on the Carnival Valor. My fiance’s parents were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary and they took the whole family along. Trista booked our cabins through her Curious Compass cruise consultant business. We had a blast!

It was yet another example of how easy it is to get into the rut of work, work, work and not taking time out to rest and recharge.

 

Social Experiment Commences

Wheee!

Wheee!

 So I have decided to start my own business. I plan on using my Blog to document the process. So many acquaintences have shown an interest in what I am doing and how I am going about doing it. They want to partner with me, work for me, sell to me, laugh at me, cheer me on, etc. I thought it might be interesting for everyone to hear my progress as things develop. This blog will be where I document the details, and then mini-updates will be sent using Ping.fm to hit my LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and GTalk status ongoing.

So here is the progress so far.
- Figured out a name. Then bought the domain. Can’t tell anyone yet because I don’t have my LLC or S-Corp set up with the state yet. No poachers!
- High level concept will be consulting with a Sales and Operational focus. You gotta sell it… then deliver it. That has always been, and will continue to be my motto. I will use my sales expertise (doubled revenue for the last company I shared ownership in within 18 months) and my technical expertise (operational efficiency through the judicious use of technology) to help businesses sell faster and deliver better than ever before.
- I have communications set up temporarily with my terryinc.com domain, hosted exchange and iPhone all talking nicely. See one of my previous Blog posts for more details on that.
