As I work in the starting phases of several business projects, it seems to be one problem after another: technical issues, people not getting back to me, doing research and finding no good results. It’s reminiscent of my three decades in corporate America and I’ve found it a bit shocking how quickly the stresses of work have returned to my life. With no company infrastructure, I must create my own and build partnerships with the resources I will need. It’s exciting but scary too and the constant dialogue with myself is a blog post unto itself.
Beginning this new adventure, I am beholden to no one: no contracts have been signed, no commitments made, no one will be effected if I stop right now. No one except me. I can no longer drive a car but my ability to drive myself forward appears intact and has not been impacted by my damaged optic nerves. I’ve known it all along but the proof is in the frustration caused by all that’s going wrong being exceeded only by my stubbornness and determination to figure it all out and keep moving forward. Uber, schmuber: I got this.
