Just back from a relaxing vacation abroad. It was especially satisfying as I didn’t have the usual dynamic of wondering what was going on back at work, checking to see if there were any fires, and knowing that upon my return I would be thrust right back into a hectic, office environment and playing catchup.
So, any brilliant inspirations or insightful realizations while I was gone? No. To be honest I didn’t really think much about my future instead simply enjoying myself and being with family that I don’t often see. This was the vacation that I never took right after leaving my job.
I’m now ready to move ahead and transition my focus away from exploration/education over to finding that right position or business opportunity.
Activities this coming week:
- Begin my research into technology areas leading to a selection of two for greater focus.
- Meet with a person in a similar situation as mine who has recently left their job seeking to start a company.
- Attend a talk on angel/venture term sheets.
- Attend an event where two startups will give practice pitches and receive feedback.
- Meet with a venture capitalist in the clean energy sector.
