life Viva La VidaA great song from Coldplay (my favourite song at the moment) and the perfect sentence to describe my life at the moment. I am living life to the fullest and loving every moment of it.
How come? Well this week has really been a week where a lot of lose ends have started to come together, finally.

Loose End No 1: I have made the decision to develop the SustainabilityForum.com on my own and I believe I also found the right developer for the job. This is like a dream come true for me and I am pleased that I decided to not give up ownership that early in the developing stages although I was tempted.
No 2: I am now starting to build key relationships with some of the best conference and event organisers in the Sustainability field. We have arranged to work together on the SustainabilityForum.com. More information will follow in due course.
No 3: My negotiations with a German business partner ended in us finding common ground to work together. I am really looking forward working with him in the future. This will be a key relationship for the future of my business and our family.
No 4: This is a secret but this will again change in lot in our life if it goes according to plan. icon smile Viva La Vida

So all in all has it been a pretty busy week with a lot of results. I am anticipating that next week will not be as big as this one but that does not really matter. I now need to work hard to build on the developments and justify the trust placed in me.

All the best,
Fabian

Where is the summer?

sonne Where is the summer?Well here it is the summer. For a couple of hours on a Friday that is. So you think: “Oh No not something about the weather again.”
I hate to write about the weather all the time but what can you do when the weather is so bad that you wish you would be somewhere warmer and sunnier. Okay now lets stop moaning now Fabian.

This week has been fairly quiet. You can really tell that it is the holiday season. Even my wife works from home today. This hasn’t happened for months because she was always to busy.
Because there was not so much going on this week I focused on online networking with a special emphasis on LinkedIn and Xing. I really love these networking sites. They are so useful sites to connect to likeminded people and professionals in your field. LinkedIn is more a global professional network where Xing in my opinion is very “Germany” focused. But in any case would I recommend to anyone interested in making new business contacts to register with both or at least with one.

I am going to Germany next week to meet up with a potential business partner in Hamburg. I am leaving a day earlier then Anne to meet them. Anne is going to Hamburg as well because we have another wedding in a week’s time close to Flensburg. (link to Flensburg).

And it decision time after that meeting. I have to finalize my plans for the redevelopment of the forum. This might not sound like a big and important decision but this decision in which direction to take the forum will be a huge influencer in where the future of my family lies in my opinion.

This weekend will be a nice weekend hopefully. Anne and I are meeting friends on the Sunday to, if the weather permits, take a long walk in the southern London area. There are some nice places to walk and with a 5-7 hour walk this day should be fun and great ot get away from the computer for a day.

Until next time everyone.
