Thank You Peter Drucker!

"Concentration is the secret to all economic success"
                        - Peter Drucker

I read this quote today and it hit home.  Let me first say, that I have been feeling mighty guilty about my lack of blogging, but I do realize, that I have had to concentrate on my current priorities.

So, what have been the priorities?

First of all, a new job and career.  I've been on the road almost every day since May 11th (Tampa, FL, Myrtle Beach/Florence, SC, Atlanta, GA, Washington DC, Nashville/Knoxville, TN sor far).

We are also renovating the downstairs of our home.

Ok, the new job.  I have joined an amazing company call The Center for Sales Strategy (CSS). I am a Senior Consultant working mainly with TV stations, newspapers and radio stations.  My job primarily is to help organizations develop sales management, sales people and sales (read "About CSS").

I work from home and travel to my clients.  It is great to be officing out of my house and I've been on the road a ton meeting clients and learning from other consultants.  Bottom line, this is a perfect job for me.

All the while I've been traveling, the family has been "camping" in our own house.  We had to move out furniture from our downstairs in order to put in hardwoods, remodel the kitchen with granite counter tops, do a bunch of paint and just generally make a ton of dust and mess of the house.

Tara's been handling this chaos great while I've been out of town and we both know it will be great...when it's finished.

Thanks for sticking around and I'll be back to blogging.  I've just been concentrating...

Thanks for "revealing" the secret of your new job. Sounds good - is mainly in your line of expertise, but slightly outside - so new and stretching and sounds like fun - working from home.

But working from home has its challenges - namely managing yourself - how do you do this? Care to share?

Andreas,

Managing myself and my time has never been a challenge. I'm very disciplined and have a high work intensity (probably why I love triathlon so much...).

Also, I've been travelling so much, I really haven't had much time at my "home office".

It is great to see the kids during the day, or have a lunch with the family, so the paybacks are great!
