*Pre*-work journal actually.

Keep your cool, even when juggling a lot of things. Keep the sense of urgency, but be calm and focused.

バタバタ is not cool.

I am so in awe (and a bit overwhelmed)
with the engineering and technology that powers our mobile, instant information and interconnected world.

Also, maybe StrengthsFinder was right. I saw my strength themes in action today.

Connectedness
Learner
Input
Responsibility
Arranger

As much as I enjoy the rush of closing a deal, I think I’ve also finally learned to enjoy the sales process.

The best feeling? Being able to actually help my clients with their business needs – not only during the initial engagement, but seeing a project through from start to end.

It’s a very rewarding feeling. It makes all the work (and stress) worthwhile.

As much as possible, do not let circumstances prevent you from doing great work.

Easier said than done, but I should expect that unexpected things happen. Some days are good, some days are bad, some days good things and bad things happen alternately, and some days there’s just nothing going on.

You know it’s hard, but try to still do great work, whatever the day.

I think I’m getting over my fear of facing and calling clients.

If what you have to say or offer is of importance to them anyway (whether they know it or not), then there’s no reason to fear.

Also, Call if urgent, get Face to Face time as much as possible. Email mostly is for documentation purposes.
