So yesterday was Friday, the end of the work week for most.
For me it was another day of trying to figure out what to do with my life and where to focus my energy.

For the most part it was a frustrating Friday, full of....
...waiting!
Argh! Why is it that most people who work in big corporate companies only get back to you when they get back to you, which is usually way late and not when you want them to get back to you (which is usually as soon as possible, if not immediately).
This is a daily frustration for me, trying to get things done, get answers; yes, no, impossible, great, let's do it, let's move on...  momentum! people, momentum!
Let's make it happen... or not, but lets just move forward... PLEASE!

This passionless, disinterested work ethic that big comfortable global corporate jobs manifest motivates me even more... the sooner I can do my own thing, the better.
 - I don't have time for time wasters.

There was a happy end to the day though... Earlier in the week I had made an appointment to meet with a financial coach to see if she could help me. The meeting went well and I will be going for coaching sessions as of next week. She was quite impressed with my ideas and seemed keen to work with me - I took this as a positive sign that I am sort of on the right track.

Note for the day: I think that a good way to start being an entrepreneur is to feed your curiosity, share thoughts and ideas... but most importantly, don't be afraid to speak to people! (whether you know them or not) ...Don't be scared to have an opinion, good or bad. Start a conversation, but don't just say stuff, listen as well. Take a genuine interest in what other people say, because that's the only way you'll learn what they know. Granted some of what they say might be a load of shit, but you can only really make that judgement once you've heard what they have to say.
That's how I got a lot of my leads, (most of them actually, including the number for my financial coach). By starting up conversations with strangers, telling them my thoughts and being brave enough to ask them about things I'm genuinely interested in, I managed to get the answers I needed to keep me moving in a forward direction.
Today is Saturday, and Loisa the fashion style Guru (someone I also just randomly met at a Braai the other day) and I will be heading off to Sandton City to go find appropriate clothing for me to wear to the Mega Partnering Africa conference. The Brief: "I want to look like a million bucks... but I don't have a million"

REMEMBER:
DON'T BE SCARED TO ASK! IF YOU DON'T ASK, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW!
(Loise is giving me million dollar fashion advise for free, simply because I asked her)
