Friday, Think About To Be a Network Consultant

Posted by george_ca at 10:50 PM on December 19, 2003.

Although I have fully abilities on Network Consultant, and I read Matthew Strebe yesterday and today when I noticed that for a technical consultant to catch customer, also a certification required. The most problem for me is now I have no regular certifications, those training certifications won't satisfied customers. And, if I want to put through a CCIE or JNCIE, they need about 1 year and a large number of test fee in them! And all the worst is, IT IS NOW NOT A HOT SPOT YET!
The conclusion should be, its also not a solution.
My solutions should be:
- Do technical something by my own business, such as hosting service, domain register service, they could run, but had for marketing and too narrow revenue.
- Escape from current networking issue.
wait... i need a rest right now. ......to be continued.

David Ogilvy's Autobiography

Posted by george_ca at 11:39 PM on December 19, 2003.

Last night I read his autobiography and try to find some stars in it. I could only read to page 12 and tired to sleep at about 1 am morning. I just notice that Ogilvy was shied for his company was accquired by WPP and became 'a unit of WPP'. It might be a bad thing for a well-known public company in that way. Its the dark of finance rules.

Move?

Posted by george_ca at 10:45 AM on December 20, 2003.

I feel bad these days?
As a network professional, its not easy to find a job here. I don't have friends here. And I don't what can I do else.
The noisy made me much fretful, baby's, tv's. And the lack of vehicle.
Am I need to move somewhere? Mississaga? Calagary? Voncouvar? Ottawa?
I don't know, I just need change.

Plan today

Posted by george_ca at 03:58 PM on December 20, 2003.

Its some late to plan for current day. But as Covey said speed is not important than direction, so plan will never be late.

Its now turn to 15:00 pm, so plan from 15:00-23:59. I'm now become to a night man.

I like to have a outdoor walk, yes, its a good idea for my brain. And may I don't want to schedule all my entries too details. They made me foolish I think.

What's important today?
1. Book read. Patton's, Dale Carneige, Ogilvy. Check my goal for them.
2. A phone to my girlfriend or family.
3. Plan for next week. I think I need to finish it tonight, I like to have a long walk tomorrow.
4.I think I need to reorganize my connection list and print them. If not I shall forget mostly.

Principle: The real power is always not smooth-spoken one

Posted by george_ca at 12:03 AM on December 21, 2003.

I notice the current Prime Miniter is not a smooth-spoker, He's good at ideas, not speaking.
And I know that always some brilliant guys before normal ppl will lost their color once a day.
It's a principle I shall think it about deeply.

Start with Morning Private Victory

Posted by george_ca at 06:46 PM on December 21, 2003.

Covey said Morning Private Victory was very important to get continue for another public victories. Yes, I need to change something in the morning. But what's the morning private victory I can do? Before I could only feel good in morning exercise, morning plan also not feel me as a victory. I need to check more from Covey's books. Anyway, I got additional ideas to break past bad habits, maybe it will give myself more chances.

compliment and build on it.
