2010. I Apologise.
Happy New Year.
I apologise for my actions in 2010.
But it's only just started, hasn't it? How can so much have gone wrong so far? It's not a case of so far, it will be a case of that in the future.
For those that know me, I apologise for harassing you so much over the course of 2010. For getting ideas from your business, personal goals and twisting them for my own selfish needs. For ruining your lunch times, evening meals and other "special" times when I call asking for your opinion or assistance on my next crackpot idea.
For those that don't, I apologise for starting to bring you into the fold. For passing information on that may change how you look at things / people around you. For maybe even becoming one of the "hassled".
For my current and future clients, I apologise for making it harder for you to leave.
Why the apologies?
The few that know me, know that I am not a gambling man, and like to take my risks with very high odds of success. This though has put me in good standing, but has not been very indicative for growth.
So far I have a comfortable "lifestyle" business. Not a growth business.
Over the coming year, I plan to add great new services, staff and locations to Ostrich. Growing into additional business and taking myself off the front line.
So I apologise in advance and hope that at the end of the year you forgive me for any intrusions into your lives.
Have a great and prosperous 2010 and here is to growth.
Cool post, good to see a different angle on the new year thing
I can sympathise with following the "sure bets" being a problem for growth
i'm sure 2010 will be the year of change!
[...] The downtime at the end of the year gave me time to think about where I want us to be this time next year and how best to achieve that…that probably means I’ll be tapping you up for opinions and ideas so in the vein of this great post on the Ostrich IT blog, I’m sorry [...]
