Invited to join a new business opportunity.

Last night, I received a call to participate in a spontaneous meeting.  I was informed that I would be very interested in the agenda.  Putting away my laptop, I got ready and left the house to see what was going on.  It took awhile to get there...almost 30 minutes.  Making a stop at the village gas station was a must...Or I won't be able to get home.  

Upon arriving, and walking up to the table situated in the front yard, I recognized two former co-workers.  It's been a long time since I've seen these two guys.  We greeted each other, then I greeted the host, and sat down.  After the catching up and how to do's, they finally broached the reason why I was asked to attend their special meeting. 

This is not the first time, that I have been invited to join in a new business venture.  I don't think it will be the last either.  However, after listening to the three speak and the goals they want to accomplish, and hearing the possible mission statement.  I realized that these three are serious about this new adventure.  It wasn't just talk.  Also the idea of bringing me in early and not later showed their sincerity on having me on board as part of the team.  

Ideas of potential offices and facilities were laid out on the table.  One was agreed upon for now.  The build on this new company will be slow going since all of us worked full-time positions.  Another meeting was planned for, within a month.  

I'm flattered and humbled to be part of a new company on Guahan.

Opportunities

It's been a month since I've returned to the island.  I was surprised that a Project Superintendent and one of the SSHO's resigned from the company.  While I was on vacation.  I was on my way out too.  But was asked by a colleague to reconsider and stay.  So I did.  I don't know if that was the right decision.  

So here I am, still here. 

I'm still an Adjunct Instructor with Guam Community College again, for the Spring Semester.  Last semester, I opted to teach one regular class for the Spring Semester.  Just last week I was chosen to teach another class, a cohort special.  Both are Industrial Safety Courses in Construction.  I'm working with the Department Chairperson to revamp the Safety Program.  It's going to be a busy week for the next 5 weeks being on a full load.  

I was even asked to join a company as their Corporate Safety.  I'm flattered and humbled that they would even consider me. I'm waiting for their official letter. 

I've also joined Nerium International last October 2013.  It took about a month to get my products.  As soon as the packaged arrived, I took a before picture, tried out a bottle every evening and some morning, and waited.  Now I just have to devote more time to work this new venture.
