Full throttle

I just arrived at home, its about 21.30 and I am still smiling after a crazy week ‘at the office’. This week I had several important meetings, some to present JuniorSenior some to discuss how and what we will do for them. This meant that I was clocking up quiet a few kilometres between Cagnes, Nice, Monaco, Italy, Cannes, Grasse and that several times. The advantage of driving to meetings is the time you have in the car to make calls and scribble ideas on a note pad. And in the evening it is good to drive back when its dark, with some good lounge music to relax and of course test the power of my engine. (just for the record mum, no I didn’t do more than 180km)

At the (home)office there are plenty of emails to be answered and new prospects to be added to the list. Its hard work, doing 100 things at the same time and trying to stay focussed but its all great fun and very often the contact with the clients are very rewarding. This week was not different but we managed to crack some hard clients nuts (well not literally) and make them want to work with us! We had strange meetings with smart and professional business men who often are a bit blinded by their ambition.

But also meetings with people that complimented us for sticking with them and never giving up. Obviously doing business and being an entrepreneur is all about that; never giving up, staying focussed and positive and when you are down just get up again and try again. Clients and potential clients see and feel this and since they have started in a similar way they appreciate this and support this. The support being given us the chance to do business with them. In the end it is of course up to us to proof that we are the company we say we are but we are a bunch of highly motivated, stubborn but dedicated people that deliver! So after a such a week, during which we break speed barriers and push each other to the limit, we need a little break that is called weekend.

But well… I have another meeting on Saturday so Sunday will do than. I guess it is all about investing yourself but when you like what you do, that isn’t bad at all and it will all pay off in the end! But for now…SLEEP!
