Preparedness
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been combing through data, working in spreadsheets, reading annual surveys, and becoming intimately aware of varying aspects of the publishing industry, with respect to my company’s entry point.
The reason is simple - I will find an investor to fund my company. When I realized, through several proof of concept manuscripts, my idea was solid and credible I told myself I would find the money before the end of February. Only 3 days away and not finished with my initial proposal, I may have been mistaken. It may take another couple of weeks but whatever the figure I require, I will obtain and secure before the end of March 2020.
Today, Tuesday, February 25, 2020, I am grateful that:
I have the gift to absorb enormous amounts of information in a short time period. This particular bestowal allows me to “get up to speed” and have informed discussions with industry experts avoiding elementary questions and asking more educated and informed questions, thereby leveraging the expertise of those within my field of query more effectively.
“It” seems right within my grasp. I’ve been working towards this goal for more than a year and with a couple of more steps completed I’ll be able to move a bit further down the path to fulfill my purpose.
The more I work towards my objective more and more people and their roles are becoming defined. Each of us has a skill set, a talent which allows us to navigate through our careers and lives with much less friction should we choose to master our talent. The challenge with most is not identifying then not doing what’s needed to master their talent. I’ve been guilty of this for various reasons but today that’s not the case. It’s great that now, as I move forward mastering my craft, I can see how some individuals will be able to use their skills and talents in the fulfillment of my purpose.
How do you see others helping in your journey?
How do you see yourself helping others in their journey?
What is your talent? What do you do with relative ease?
How do you improve said talent?
How do you apply your talent to the achievement of your purpose?
