The Power of "Stick-to-it'ness"


It's funny how things work. A friend knew I liked designing programs for youth and asked me for a proposal. When reviewing the client's website I noticed they were looking for an Internet Liaison. I fired out an email of inquirey and got a call the same day. The organization, Venture Academy, is a residential youth counselling and treatment program. They need someone to participate in chat sessions and blogs to talk about the benefit of youth counselling. This seems "right up my alley".
After talking to the founder, Gordon Hay, I think the internet work is something I could do and would be very interesting. I'm going to give this a lot of thought.
It's funny how you end up stumbling across good things if you are looking for it. I guess that's the power of sharing your dreams. What are your dreams?

  1. I was catching up on your blog, Terry, and in the nautical theme, noticed two types of "navigation" systems that you are using effectively and synchronously: GPS for land and water and "faith". The latter refers to listening to those still small voices and acting upon the "message". Personally, I have found the less I struggle and the more I reflect, the easier the journey becomes. It's a little hard for "Type A" to give up the illusion of control - lol.

  2. Good point about following the "still small voice". I have heard from so many clients that their "small voice was telling them something" during job search and interviews. Those that have followed that "inner advice" never to seem to have regrets, those who ignored it, almost always had regrets from their job and career decisions. Funny eh! I guess that's where faith comes in!
