Another Slow Start

It’s a different kind of day today. I’m off to a bit of a slow start and I’m getting my writing done. This new tool I’ve been learning is testing my abilities to finish things. It’s also testing my ability to stick with something and see it through to completion. I’d say it doesn’t matter much if you start slow, but it matters more if you finish.

We’re in an age of technology and business when being first is a great thing. Getting to market with a viable product first provides an advantage over competitors. It makes it challenging for everyone that follows, but it’s not an insurmountable lead.

Superior service and product offerings gain market share and dominate the marketplace. It’s been that way and I’m not seeing that ever changing. FedEx was first, but U.P.S. is bigger. Yahoo was first, but Google is bigger. A couple of examples and I’m sure there are many more. My point is that even though I’m not going to be first and I’m off to another slow start, my competitors lead is not insurmountable.

Today, Tuesday, February 20, 2023, I am grateful that:

I got plenty of rest today and yesterday. It’s not something I get to do once the work week starts, so today was indeed a treat.

I tried another iteration for using my latest tool. It didn’t work ideally and I’m thinking I’ll have to hire someone to get the work done. It’s not something I can continue to waste my efforts on. I need someone that can get it done and move on to the next step of the process.

I got a chance to speak with Erik briefly on Sunday. It’s good catching up. We didn’t speak for long and that’s ok too. I’m only staying in touch with a few of my old friends from the states and he happens to be one of them.

Are you moving slower than expected?

How many mentors do you have?

Are they advising you in your endeavors?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
