Monday September 9th - Fuzz in the Fourth Quarter

Yo yo yo! This be me, Blogg'a Craig, back in action, reporting for me last blog duty. #Tear.

After a short week vac, we're back for the final quarter of the year. But with only three weeks left until closure of business, it feels like time is racing by.

I must say, this vac was a week of reflection on where my life-journey is headed. Especially with catching a cold, I spent considerable time thinking about next year and writing in my girly little diary (it's got a green butterfly cover).

For me, it seems like there are three options: continue with Azura, take a job/internship, or get entrepreneuring and form a tech-startup.

If I take one of the Covey lessons and start with the end in mind... I want to be 'one of those startup kids' who form a company with some buddies in their basement. I want to change the world.

So whatever happens, everything leads to option 3. The question is, do I take detours and a scenic route, or jump in and get wet.

After travelling to Chicago and attending Eben Pagan's Accelerate event, and watching a couple documentaries on startups... and in light of this course... I think the answer is to jump in. Not faffing about 'trying to prepare myself'.

But then on the other hand, I feel like my marketing and coding skills need sharpening, and still need to develop an idea.

So what's the answer?

I'm not sure. But I'm considering a synthesis between the two. Do both. Work somewhere awesome and give 110% from 9-5pm. Come home, rest, and then give 110% from 7-2am.

Ironically, that feels like the easier one to hold.

And you know, something else that I've been thinking of... Can you really teach or learn 'entrepreneurship'? I mean, here we are in this entrepreneurship course, aged between 20-30, while on the other hand there are kids in the US launching businesses from their dorm-rooms. They didn't study squat!

Anyway, I'm sure you can tell, there's a lot of internal dialogue happening over here.

It's still an open conversation, and I don't think there is a 'right answer'.

This is the best advice that's on offer, "You just gotta follow your gut, put yourself out there, trust, and feel what direction emerges."

Chat to ya tomorrow!
