Last week, I attended a 4-day seminar called The Breakthrough Technology Course, which is hosted by a company called Landmark Education. In the rest of the world, the seminar is called The Landmark Forum, in case that rings any bells. I want to share more about that in-depth, but for now, I’ll say that it was a life-changing experience that has got me up and going again!

But oh man, when you’ve been staring at your feet for months (or longer) and finally look up and in front of you,  you might find yourself saying (with a smirk) “oh wow, what did I get myself into!”

Anyhow, I recently talked to my friend Jack (more on him later), and he reminded me about the importance of setting concrete goals. Not just for myself, but also so that other people could find ways to support me as well. And I’ve known this, but only now after taking the BT course do I realize I’ve had a long lasting fear of creating goals. I’m going to have to dig into my past to find out where I got that from, but for now I’m glad I have the courage to create them now.

I banned myself from games for now (actually, I feel like my addiction vanished), but just to make things more appealing to myself, I decided to look at my goals as if I was playing a game ;D

Blue Ocean Strategy is the name of a recently formed company that focuses on networking parties. The parties are aimed people looking to enlarge their own networks, find business partners, others who share interests, or even romantic interests. The best part, though, is that there are agents who oversee the event. And those agents take it as their responsbility to look over the people they invited, and introduce to them they people they’re looking to meet. They look to make sure you’re not ever sitting on the sidelines not knowing what to do for the rest of the night.

My friend Kasumi invited me to the event last month, and I thought it was so great that I emailed the organizer and said I wanted to help. And, well, now I’m an agent as well!

The next event is in 3 days, on Tuesday the 22nd. I called the leader, Kinoshita, and he gave me the goal to try and bring 10 people to the event this time. I actually didn’t know about this month’s event until earlier this week, but regardless, I’m up for the challenge of achieving that goal. It will finally be a source of income, as well!

This is exciting!

Oh, and as for how I met Kasumi, Jack, and Kinoshita… Instead of getting into the entire story here, here’s connection map of sorts =P
