While in the second cycle of DRST1 ZP, I feel that I am slowly picking myself up.
The company which had asked me to help me with their project has not been in touch with me for a month, and I’m fine with it and not feeling dejected as usual. Perhaps my mindset become more accepting of such things, and I’m beginning to view things as a setback in business rather than a setback in both business and my personal life.
I’ve also been seeing a need to secure more projects instead of closing down my company to looking for full-time employment. It’s the same thing actually, just that some people close to me don’t see it and keep on thinking that I am a jobless bum.
Anyway, more interesting stuff popped up over the last week
-
A business partner asked if I am interested in being part of a certain project that he is bidding for. The project looks exciting and as I am required to be present at the site which is overseas, it will put me in a new environment for quite a period of time, and I also see my success at this project a platform for me to grow in the market that I am interested in building up my reputation in.
-
A good friend of mine told me is selling her business and I’ve offered to help her look for potential buyers. I have become more motivated to actually start contacting people that I know who might be able to help in this after a long period of reclusiveness.
-
The same friend of mine had also asked me if I knew some real estates in London who could help her friend who had moved into London to find some short-term accomodation. I also started to contact some people I had not spoken to for a long time over this.
-
I learnt from Linkedin that an acquaintance of mine would be moving to a city I had lived in previously for a year to engage in a business. I immediately offered to put him in touch with people who could help him settle in his new environment.

After procrastinating for a week, I finally got down to helping an entrepreneur based overseas but who would be coming down for a trade show on some logistical matters, and I reached out to particular groups of contacts.
