DAY 12 - 2 Sep 2012

It has been a long week. My week has never been short as i always try my best to make the best of my time. For my work, i am glad to have completed 11 jumps with the highest altitude at 17,000ft agl,my 1st night jump was postponed due to bad weather. Tomorrow jump training starts again.

As for my big dreams, i would give myself a score of 6/10, i manage to do up 3.5 chapters out of 10 chapters of the business plan in the past 2 days.

My business plan chapters includes;

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

3. THE MARKET

4. THE COMPETITORS

5. REACHING THE MARKET

6. DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

7. MANAGEMENT

8. FINANCE

9. RISKS, RETURNS & EXIT

10. APPENDICES

I am done up to Market, and that requires much thinking and determination to push through.

Most importantly i must remind myself to be concise, relevant and thorough enough not to skip any seemingly tricky issues that may be hard to resolve.

As for my language revision, i have completed lesson 1 revision, going through all the assignments and i thinking i am slowly getting it back.

What next?

It will be a long day at the dropzone tomorrow, i shall bring some books along and i will start to (1) read my Portuguese grammar textbook and try my very best to complete it in 2 weeks.

Since my last posting, i have yet to continue on Charisma, (2) i shall read 10 pages of it every night before i sleep. Lets test my discipline.

(3) I shall keep warm with all my biz planning by compiling all the pointers from various sources, such as notes and slides. Whenever possible to tackle one question a day of each sub chapters and search for data online whenever reading is not conducive in my room.

I am looking forward to the new month, i hope to get myself at least a 7.5 out of 10. Which means more working, and working at higher efficiency with undivided attention and less sleeping and other leisure activity. Which means at least 3 hours of work each day on top of my jump training.

Some pictures to share on high altitude skydiving.

Never lose sight and forget my aim to build an iconic youth hostel!
