My life has been full of business cases.. I had no more life other than business these days.. IT is something i want it for so long..Now i am getting it and enjoying it a lot... I cant say myself a workaholic right now because i havent spend my whole day, morning and evening, for work or sitting in the office...But, yes my mind is never leaving from business.. I mean, everything i do and think is always about business.. I wasnt care about anything happen around me - nor care about my friends or family..
I spend, monday to Friday in my new office in Sanur...Then weekend at Soka Restaurant. I enjoyed it a lot tho.. I havent been out for ages..gods knows when i went out for night out.. Although right now i tried to go out or find friends on friday nite, but it turn out that i felt too tired and lazy to go ou and rather spent it at the gym and slept early for the next day.
I felt good about how i manage Soka these days.. I have implemented KPI in soka which i think it works really well.. People is starting to get the benefit out of it so do the company..My staff is working more carefully and harder than ever to impress their boss.
These week, we are looking forward to IDUL FITRI.. seems like everyone workin in soka to prepare for it..and hopefully all the renovation and preparation for this can be done in time.
However, i have different case with MECA...i dont know if it was a good thing or a bad thing..But, i ll take the positive side of it ... WE got our eVisa suspend..This is mean that we can do any electronic visa for now...But, i guess a positive side of it is that we will be more carefull to work with people specially with people we dont know and not trusting too many people in this business...Hopefully it changes MAtt mind since this and he ll be more carefull about this...I know this job is a whole life for him.. And there is only one way for him to fix if he want to keep this going..!! It s good that this happen so soon in our business, so then we can learn from the mistake we made and be a better one in the future...
oh well, i ll try to update this blog every week.
Having a great time to gather with the whole complete family in Bandung '09.
Been a while not on this blog..Been very busy with work... I know i shouldnt be complaining about this coz, if i looked back a few months ago, I was complaining about not having any work..hehehe..What a life.. always full of complaining..
But really this week has been pretty bad week..I mean, i realise myself that i have gone too far with my ideas..I am not patient enough on what i am doing..I am always needing something instant, something quick and premature sometimes... So yeah, i got it all back to me.. All jobs and works that i had done without a serious thinking was coming back to me with all problems.. Its kinda cause my chaos for myself... Lucky Matthew made me realise about this.. Although i couldnt swallow it properly when he said that to me. But yeah, i know what i was doing wrong and now, i have to clean up my own mess...
I was actually having the same lesson about this last week. When i played badminton with om budi. I used all my strength and power to smash the shuttlecock and run around chasing ball everwhere.. But at the end i lost my energy and i couldnt finish the game. I didnt put the ball properly on the court. I didnt play tactical but more of using my power... Which at the end was really bad for my stamina...And in the middle of the game, he told me the same thing...To be patient, and PLAY SMARTER NOT HARDER. It changed the game totally afterward.
I guess, i am having the same situation right now with my business. I am doing to much marketing and promotion.. But, i fogot the basic of my own business. I havent got a proper formula for my business. I should be back to my own kitchen..Get it all system done and promote and shout it out loud..
Well, over the weekend has made me realise all these.. Hopefully facing next week with a better one ..Better thinking and better work come out.. Hopefully.
Well, just read an article on a magazine today.. It says that its good to write it down what you have been up to, what you have achieved, what you goal and what you have been through. It s good to keep you motivated, and see your progress. Where then, you can analyze and make a decision for the next step.
So, then..i ll use this blog to write it down...and i can always looking at it again in the future.. Coz, i am feeling a bit down today.. I know, i guess i am kinda not patient to see the result...
