Here’s to gratitude and compassion for self.

I am always on a mission for self improvement. Always ambitious. Always trying to fix things.

Thanks for a very powerful thought. I will muse upon it for a time.

Guy Kawasaki talks about entrepreneurs wanting to change the world, and I think that’s part of it. The shadow side is many discover a changed self through the entrepreneurial experience.

I had invested all of my post-grad life into one old Bay Area tech firm, a company known for being deeply committed to its people. My star was tied to a much loved CEO, who left for his own good reasons. Those close to him were quickly packaged out.

A man in complete free-fall is an ugly thing. I was the essence of Kieth Reid/Procol Harum’s Conquistador. Emerging from depression I knew one thing about myself, that I was best when “of service.” Fortune smiled, and I found myself doing turn-around work for mid-sized company. There could have been no better tonic than saving thousands of jobs while reinvigorating an old business. By helping rebuild that company, I could feel the old mojo return.

Since then I have worked with many entrepreneurs who have that same quality. While trading risk for reward, while, as Guy says changing the world, they are at their best when they are of service.

There is nothing wrong with me either. There is nothing wrong with anyone just because they don’t agree with me or feel the way I feel. Have you ever had a hard time having a good, respectful relationship with someone

I am so happy that you stumbled upon Seamus and my blogs! In my book that was no coincidence. You will find that the more you love and accept yourself, the more in tune you will get with your own intuition. Then, as if by magic, the right people, information and opportunities will fall in your lap. That is just how it works!

Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
