Thought of the day.

I’m pretty exited about the upcoming year – a lot of that excitement comes from the success of last year. I was in charge of sales for the company for that year, and we broke the record for sales in a year by Imperial Asphalt including breaking a million dollars in sales… to bad it snowed and shut us down before we could complete all the work that was sold! Oh well, next year for sure we will break that million dollar mark I’m sure. Overall though it felt really good to take over sales, and have this be the best selling year in the history of the company.

With that success behind me and a great year coming up, I start looking at ‘what’s the next step’ in the plan of becoming a true Entrepreneur. With Imperial asphalt as a ‘base’ that provides a source of income for other money generating projects, it’s time to start really defining what those projects should be.

I have been working on a few online businesses, one of them is Intagoal, which has an ambiguously defined purpose of providing online education. Also in the mix is Level20.com which is where I have had some sort of a game themed idea for a company twirling around in my mind. In addition to it being managed in a revolutionary ‘manage by project’ style – I really want it to be something that I am passionate about.

Tonight as I drove to meet a gamer friend of mine for a late night burrito at rolbertos, I had what I believe was an epiphany of clarity… now, I’m not sure that those two words really go together, but I like how they sound, so I’ll leave them there for now. Basically a clear picture of a method of generating income off of my passion for gaming formed in my mind.

I’m not going to go into the details of what exactly the idea is, I honestly don’t believe that the ‘what’ of the idea is really relevant to the success of that Idea, it’s the fact that it is something that I can really get passionate about. THAT! Is the key.

Honestly the idea is fairly mundane, the fact that I am exited about making it a reality is what is unique. I feel like there are several pieces of a big puzzle that are already positioned in a way to make the whole puzzle come together quickly and with great odds of succeeding on the first stab.

I’ll definitely be writing more about what the details of the idea are. I just know it has been a long time since I did an update in here, and I felt like this was a significant enough event that it merited being noted in this blog.

I’ll admit, this is the ‘slow’ part of the plan, but I’m really enjoying it – part of what is key to my vision of success, is getting ‘there’ in a vehicle that I will enjoy the ride in, and so far, this family owned business venture of Imperial Asphalt, very much is fitting the picture. It is a pleasure to have planning and goal setting meetings with my father, mother and Brother Trent, all sitting around the dinner table. We plan a bit, then tell a story for a while. Meetings that could be finished in an hour, can sometimes drag on for three. That may seem very anti productive, and I’ll admit, it is, but honestly, that is EXACTLY part of the pay check that I want… to enjoy what I do – and folks, I’m getting paid well in that department. At the same time, the paychecks on the financial end of the scale really haven’t been too shabby, and they are shaping up to be much better in the future. So, as far as how things are progressing – I’d have to give a ‘so far so good’ response to that query.

Wade Hone –out.
