The risky road or why traveling by gut can work

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

I’ve written previously about how my current work with a client has grown and I was looking to diversify my interests to spread my risk out. Having those feelers to the ground, sniffing for moments of opportunity, is a great feeling. I would highly recommend it to anyone feeling caught up or lost in their current job.

And because I was out looking around, an opportunity has come along that’s really set my antenna twitching. I’ve been asked to run the domestic operations for an undisclosed startup that is in the early planning stages. This company would reunite me with some former colleagues I enjoy working with, as well as expose me to a whole new group of challenges and potetial rewards.

I wanted to let those of you who do stop by to read the blog know why you’ve seen even less of me. One post in a month was never my intention. As time progresses I’ll be able to share more details about the new company and what we’re doing. In the meantime I’m going to do my best to post something at least once a week, more frequently if I can.

But I’d like to know from any of you, do you find there were times where you had an opportunity that you knew you needed to take on? Or not take on? What came of it and did it pay off? I’d love to know if my experiences are similar to others. Thanks again for your patronage and I’ll see you soon.
