The alternatives one has when facing a  longer wait than expected at a doctor’s office are only a few; reading those old magazines, watching the TV, sending text messages or checking emails on your iPhone…not much for more than 4 hours.  What do you do?  answer the poll to the right of this post.

There are some good news though, some are trying new ideas such as restaurant-style pagers.

What else do you do when you have to wait? add your comments below.

I think it is going to be a week of many learns for me. I have always sustained the theory that to be a successful entrepreneur you must be a good sales man and I have never considered myself a sales person. I have never done it and never wanted to learned it, but I took the plunge into entrepreneurship knowing that I was going to face many challenges and unknowns. Well, here is the first one – Selling. Believe it or not, I am looking forward to it.

Y.E. Yang, the first Asian golf player to win a major, The PGA Championship, said yesterday after beating Tiget Woods “since I was playing with Tiger, I might as well have the fun of my life”.  Tom Watson, not the great golfer, but IBM’s founder and CEO between 1920 and 1950 said that “Nothing Happen Until a Sales Is Made”.

I am going to listen to the words of wisdom from Tom and the words of joy from Y.E Yang.  I am going to have the best time ever selling what I know will change the live of many people who have been waiting for too long…

I was marked in my life by the experiences I shared with my friends during my high school years, probably like many of you. I spent most of those days playing Rugby (Koala’s was the name of the team) with great guys that thought me many things, amongst those the value of team work, hard work, confidence, humility, perseverance, smart decision making, loyalty and most importantly friendship. We accomplished great things together and I will always be thankful of all of them.  They are too many to mention, but I want to name a few (forgive me if I did not mention your name, but you are in my heart) so here we go: Gato, Mono Barrientos, Mono Pena,  Moni, Sopapo, Waldo, Raul Aguayo, Fidji,  Maya, Wander, Toto (los tripode…ja) Jaimito, Arcaya, Regalin, Cano, Tote, Chicho, Foli, Marcelo Pino, Casanova, Ivo, Chino Flores, Cone, y el huevo Ponce.

Now that I am embarking in a new venture in my life to start my own business with Dwamian I know that I am going to meet new people, make new friends and work with many great coleagues. And I know that if I apply what I learned with the Koala’s I will be successful.

I miss you all,
