Never Stop Asking or Listening
As I sit here with my lunch, it dawned on me that I hadn’t updated my blog for a while and so I logged in, hit “Add New” and stopped. What should I write about? I’m currently playing a waiting game where by my projects are progressing at an acceptable rate but not quite at the stage where they need full time commitment so there’s not much I can tell you about them since my last update.
If you’ve followed this blog for a while you’ll know that, even after all my experiences, I’m not in a position – and never will be – to say I know it all. I often seek advice from people that have been, or are in, similar situations. And I listen; I listen to what they did and how they did it. Too much information isn’t bad for you, but it is your responsibility to pick out what you need to know and separate the sound advice from the crap. Along the way, there might be an opportunity or two for you to profit and/or learn.
Don’t be shy, but don’t be overconfident too as that can come across as cocky. I’ve managed to secure free haircuts for a year in return for creating and managing the website of my hairdresser in Edinburgh. It was her who made the offer, and she wasn’t shy to ask but she knew she could reciprocate.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, after being through the mill a bit I’m still surprising myself.
Good luck with your pursuits,
Khalid.
