Translation: I'm hired! This is one of the many life outcomes that could've only been possible because of the lessons I've been accruing the past eight months.
Seriously, does it get more efficient and decisive? Just my style. No one likes waiting around and wondering "what if?". I treated myself to overpriced fro-yo to celebrate.
In addition to that uplifting good news, I spent the evening in a small business discussion group. There are always ideas and side projects swimming around in my head, and I thought it may be interesting or inspiring to listen to other people's.
Great experience, hands down. Honestly, I didn't expect to throw any of my ideas into the ring, mainly because none of them are particularly formed. There was a moment where the discussion leader singled me out, and I could've passed, but I decided to just blurt out my nebulous vision for the 'break it down' blog.
The enthusiasm and ideas that started bouncing around amazed me. And I managed to walk away with a re-imagined, and more viable, version of my initial brainchild. Maybe that's why I couldn't summon the motivation to work on it before; it already felt like a dead end. So, let's see if this concept makeover reinvigorates my drive.
