Had another meeting with that VP Sales I wrote about a little while ago. He's a pretty cheesy schmooze guy, but he told me what I wanted to know and ended up giving me some valuable leads to follow up with.
With each day, the image of my new company and my new job becomes a lot clearer. I've heard some necessary confirmation from respected peers and friends about my initial ideas, and I'm more quickly assimilating them into concise concepts and business model-styled ideas. I enjoy this part of the creative process very much - the freewheeling brainstorming part. Taking down all the barriers, just thinking about everything I can do with my next job. Distilling those thoughts into concise concepts, and suddenly I find myself holding the beginnings of a bonafide plan.
Putting the plan into action is usually the hardest part, though. I'll need to steel myself up psychologically to keep my energy up throughout that part of the process. I think it will be easier if it's my own company though, which only makes sense. If I'm working for my own livelihood, the stakes are higher, and I'm bound to be more dedicated to it. I used to work ten times harder at my old job, and I'm sure it was because I felt like I was a part of something good and important. Building my own company, modest though my goals may be, will undoubtedly feel like that even more.
