It's been quite sometime since I last wrote and life has been rather hectic. I worked tirelessly into the morning last night to complete my marketing plan for class. I must say that there was a lot of research I enjoyed doing for the motion picture industry. I also wanted to recommend the "Marketing Myopia" article to anyone interested in marketing or business. It was an influential piece of writing in the 70s and still very relevant today.
We've begun the first of three weeks of Accounting. I just hope we don't have long drawn out problems like we had in Statistics. I love looking at things from a financial perspective but I don't want to just keep plugging in formulas...I am happy to have made it through my first MBA term will most of my sanity intact. I realize how over-extended I am. My ambitions keep me very busy...and sometimes it's too busy for my own good but I'm really working on maintaining a balance that keeps me busy but less stressed out.
Being in business school has really nurtured and encouraged the entrepreneurial part of me! I have another half dozen great business ideas I could implement tomorrow. It’s such an invigorating process to sit and talk with Erica about the feasibilities of new business and to hammer out the kinks in our current ventures. I’m launching a new business with my mom and encouraging everybody else I know to examine what they might be interested in. In reality, most people are more comfortable showing up to work with a purpose instead of creating their own luck. It’s too hard, or there isn’t enough time when in reality I think that people always make time to do what they want. People spend countless hours on the telephone, playing video games, or going to the movies.
A week or so ago I had a good mid school friend come to LA and we had a lot of fun. We went to Disneyland, which is a great place to eat bad food and laugh! We went to a professional soccer game, which was more fun that I thought it would be. I played soccer when I was younger and just don't like watching it on TV but in person is great! I'd love to see another one!
Unfortunately we ran out of time before she had to go back to Albuquerque but it was good fun. Spending time with this friend reminded me of how precious people are...
Over the last year a few people I held in high regard have come in and out of my life. Some of it has been truly devastating in many ways. How could I be so wrong about somebody I thought I was close to for 10 years? In life there are no certainties and I have found a way to embrace that. It's tricky at times but I think I'm stronger today than I was last year! I'm committed to success and happiness and don't really want people around me who don't bring something to the table. I think this is something most people forget to ask for. Anyway, I guess that's enough psychoanalysis for now.
