Blog-I hav been
blogging for a while now and over the time I realised my interests have grown
with me and there are more things that i do or are interested in than when I
started the blog years ago.
I also now know that to bring our best version to work, the
inner state of mind is way more important than how many certifications we have
for the job. There's more research and publication now readily available to
understand that and that's where I have been investing my time in terms of
reading.
I also wasn't quiet sure, how I would like to the blog to
shape up and grow with me.......while I enjoy what I do, i would also like to
bring more of the inner game here, so you grow with me via the blog.
I think what it would really be, is to have a theme or
category in the publications and undertake various things in it. Basically,
more of a lifestyle blog for the professionals.
Life- I started
this year with returning from a lovely vacation and have taken the time to
sort my head. There were days, I wanted to know what more can I offer to my
work life, there are days i went to bed at 7.30pm (for almost a month) because I felt tired and fidgety
because i wasn't sorted. So i slept.... in the process of trying to know myself
through readings, listening to some great stuff over the web and ideating and
scribbling and doing nothing- i now know what I really want to do.
SIPM- the
platform where mentors and mentees can meet has been down for a while now. I
really wanted to give back to the community that has done so much for me and
thats why I had created that platform with the help of my friends. I also
thought it would be a great setup to
have a platform where anyone could have a mentor from anywhere in the world and
you don' have to write hundreds of emails to do that. Thats why mentors signed
up, professionals who were also interested
in giving back and signed up saying I
would love to mentor. I didn't make a dime out of it perhaps because I never
considered it to be a business model and I know a lot of you have used it over
the years and I couldn't be more thankful. I created for you, what I wish I had
for me when I was starting out.
It also means that I have to keep on investing on it and
with a lot going on now I am not sure if I really have the time to dedicate my
time towards it. At one point i was ready to announce for anyone else to take
it over and do better marketing about
the wonderful site than I have done. For
now its on hold, I havent fixed the website and I am rethinking. Would you like
it to come back?
Others- there are
other smaller interests that are cropping up and I am not sure if I can manage
the time to invest myself in all of it it, I will give it a bit more of time
and then probably take the final call. However, what I do know is that I would
love to be more involved with my audience, people like you who have been
reading the blog for a while now. It could be actually getting serious with my
youtube channel, or creating a series of coaching sessions, a book and launching
products that inspires all of us to look inward and find our inner game.
Has this New Year been different for you?
