I meet more than 10 business owners a week in my sales job. "calling" is a new English vocabulary I learned since I started this job. We, in Japanese language, call it as the job given by the god. Because I am in America to establish my own companies as well as family and a happy life for myself, meeting and talking with business owners always leverages my future perspectives.
In the last week, I was talking with an owner who runs a Korean food company in LA. We mainly talked about the possibility for them to expand to Mexico and China with their own recipe and business philosophy. "oh my god, I wanna start my business right now.." In our conversation, I said this in my mind millions of times because he looked so enthusiastic, full of energy, and just like how I would like to be in my future. " Well Chuji, just follow your heart. I'm into expanding Korean food culture to the World, and I'm just following my enthusiasm. Marketing and management is important, but you have to have the heart under your belt."
People sometime remind me that I am working too hard and I need to be a little bit slower, but there is no reason for me to do so because I know what I want to do and how. It's just like forcing yourself to sleep in the bed although you have tickets, money, and time to go to Europe. Dream it, plan it, do it, and review it.
Today, I read a news that there are now more solar jobs in CA than actors. In TX, there are more solar workers than ranchers. Last week, a president of a sustainable business company in Manhattan sent me a book "The Future by Al Gore" Yes, my enthusiasm is in sustainable business. I am eager to impact our environment through my own business. I think I will write a letter for him so I can get initiated his philosophy. Yea things are so enthusiastic. Folks, let's get enthusiastic to impact our society such as family, community, and the World.
Go for it!! Chuji,
