Now, it’s time for me to start getting focused on my blog. I just registered the domains Grad2Nomad and GradToNomad.com. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get the blog hosted with my own hosting, but it’s hard because of my limited technological knowledge. I’m sure I’ll figure it out soon. Once I get it up and running, I will be able to start marketing it.

Also, I’ve had some renewed interest in RateMySummerSalesJob.com. I think that’s because my main interest is in starting businesses. As I think about the different careers I want, I really just want to start businesses. If I work in a career, the main requirements that I’ll look for are the ability to be extremely flexible so that it will allow me to be an entrepreneur.

Anyway, I’ve been talking with Todd Knight about helping with the rating website. He says he’s interested, but I’m going to try and get the Romanians to fix what they can first. I want to get that up and running before I leave so that I can also market it while I’m out and about. Well, I’m really loving life now, and I’m really interested in getting out and being social again. Now that I’m having some direction in my life, it helps me to be more confident in my personal life.

I think that is a good indicator of whether or not my choices are good. There are things that I do that I’m really proud of and that I love talking about with other people. If I’m ever doing something that I’m ashamed of or that I don’t want to share with others, then it’s probably a good indicator that I’m not passionate about it. One of the biggest things that has kept me hopping from one job to the other is that I don’t look forward to what I’m doing. I don’t wake up excited to go to work. Right now, that’s how I am. I’m not excited to go to my sales job or to go work at Runner’s Corner. Once I’m there and I start making sales, I’m really excited about that fact, but I’m never excited to go to work.

That translates into what I tell people. I remember when I worked for Qualtrics, my friend Ty said that I never sounded excited about it. He said that whenever I talked to anyone about it, I was almost ashamed of it. He was right. I wasn’t excited about it and I wasn’t proud of what I was doing. So, for me to be happy about what I’m doing, it needs to be something I’m proud of and that I would love to tell anyone about. That seems to be one of the best indicators of whether or not I’m making good professional decisions. I can probably use that as a forethought. I should ask myself when contemplating any decision if it’s the type of thing I would be proud of.
