or so it seems to me right now.  there is a number of things on my mind as I explore my next employment opportunity.  i’m an information technology guy, but i think i’m becoming more than that.  i think i’m morphing into the social media strategist that I want to be.

at least i hope so.

i received an email from a local company with national reach.  they were interested in talking to me about this social media position that they are creating.  it’s extremely interesting to me because of it’s broad scope that extends from social media internally & externally to technology solutions associated with the goals of social media efforts.

i’m going for it.

for once i’m thinking and not dwelling. what i mean is that i’m thinking on my next steps in this part of the economy that so many people are afraid of. i’m watching for the opportunities that are always passing by. i’m not afraid of failing.

perhaps that is the strength that is fueling me at this time. when everyone else is stocking their bunker, i’m out scouting, exploring the territories so recently vacated by people too timid to try. to them the sky is falling, or at least looks like it. to me, it’s a grand opportunity to build my world, expand my empire, stake my claim, and reap the rewards for my family and myself.

it’s not that i don’t see the risks – i do. however, i have nothing of value that i can loose, and therefore have the advantage as i plow forward, going where others can’t or won’t at this time.

the other part of the equation is that i don’t believe this crisis to be as bad as it’s being made out to be.
