11/24/17

It’s Friday morning after a long interviewing night and sneezing regularly. Not a good sign! The key is to get some rest this weekend otherwise next week will be insane, especially since there’s a couple of long nights. Good news out of it is that by the end of next week it will essentially be a cruise control until Xmas. 

I’m feeling a little better about my chapel talk. The feedback has really been overwhelmingly positive. I’m having difficulty determining whether it’s a result of the Uber niceness of people here or it actually landed as a good talk. I’m going to go with the latter and really focus on trying to research and develop a plan to move this idea forward. Perhaps getting some feedback on paper and using it for my website to promote speaking in public. I think there’s likely an opportunity to pursue this with other schools and come in once a term, semester or something else to speak. The big issue is and always has been - money. School’s just don’t have enough! Although I’m not looking to be a millionaire simple math shows that even on a part time basis, I’d need more than $300 per session to make any go of it and it would be on a part time basis. The other aspect is perhaps to write a book and sell it to subsidize the funds. Topics might include:

• Entrepreneurship for young people
• Motivational bits ‘a la’ Seth Godin (Think: Leap First)

Things I’d like to accomplish today:

• Begin work on my video for my chapel talk
• Put up boards for grade 5 and have them make their name labels
• Check in on my entrepreneurship book and add to it
• Add to the myth busting book

Workout: Day off. Long night yesterday, feeling sick today = day off!
