Good Things Come to Those Who Wait?

OK, apologies for being so vague in the last entry, let me continue. I have been working with a principle of a business on a new opportunity in the local area. The company has built a beautiful new facility and has been too busy with other concerns to set it up for success. It seems my background in organizational management might be just what the doctor ordered. So, at the urging of this principle, I called the CEO with a proposal for a position to solve the aforementioned situation. Unfortunately, he has not decided how he is going to add in this business unit yet. I made a good case to make it separate from his current ops…but apparently it was not compelling enough for him to jump on it. I may have to build him a business plan—and show him he can’t do it with current staff, needs to make it self-sustaining and that the model will grow him to what he has envisioned.

Not much else to report. Do I have you all thoroughly confused?

Ask, and then be scared of what you might receive!

We are staring into the maw of a giant beast. A few weeks back we had a special guest for dinner and we were ruminating on the challenges of job hunting for the senior member of our little clan. He took in all we were saying and a day or to later came to tell us of his need for an accomplice in his daily endeavors.

More to come...
