How different things can be even within the spate of a short time difference. Just weeks back, I'd had my first real taste of real life experience with prospective investors and it's been hell! In simple words, I'd gone from wishing for the ground to open so I could be swallowed up to one of clueless about who I was, what I was trying to sell and question marks about my efforts. As with anything in life, it left a positive mark on me so much that it led to a redefinition of my very passion cum strengths which further translated to a purposeful re-connection even as far as my team formation. As I speak, I say with all sense of purpose and confidence that 4 months into this incubator program, I'm clear about the direction I'm taking with regards to how my passion, skills and ideas connect. What that translates to is that I'm good going forward.
Today's was much refreshing and without any iota of bitterness. It was both a relaxing and learning process going by the humor and issues raised. What could be more? I'm in zone that's best defined as "comfortable" given the synergy that exists with my partners for obvious reasons. Clarity which to me spells simplicity characterizes the ideas and vision that we have going forward. Others are the lack of redundancy, experience and expertise all in a well defined format so much that they are measurable. No offense to anyone but for me, I'm in state of reality in contrast to the 'cloud' I seemed to find myself a while back. True, my scope of sight may be limited. True, it may be that I'm not a big picture person. True, true, true but my interpretation of the foregoing perceptions is one of a guy who rather prefers to play in areas well defined in practical terms for me to key in my inputs vis-a-vis get my hands dirty. A number of times I;ve found me in states where I'd rather just be 'doing' as opposed to conceiving and talking. Yeah, I love learning things and breathing life to ideas that have been conceived along the areas of my interest and I need mention, shear reality. Why? Because I have a problem without seemingly white elephant or fancy ideas that have n practical connection to what I can offer in terms of possessive skills even if on a small scale.
Back to the session with the Engineer, it's for me an issue of researching more into our product offering plus building on what we have lined up already. Nothing to do with switching ideas or searching for new ones. Nah! Rather, I make bold to say that the moment one has a clarity of what he's engaged in to the point of connecting his passion, interest, skills and knowledge [to it] then not only can any form of external opinion not sway him but one also remains convinced of the potentials of it. The foregoing best explains my state.
