MOMENTUM & ENERGY

[Karan]:  So we have 38 days until the grand opening of our new kitchen showroom on August Bank Holiday Monday, and you wouldn't believe the momentum and energy that is fizzing and bursting out of all of us involved.

Don't get me wrong, at the end of every day we're all as knackered as hell, but our enthusiasm and concentrated focus seems to be driving us forward.  There is still so much to do and not a single minute to lose, but it's fun, rewarding and inspiring all at the same time.

Like any major event, we're having the odd problem crop up, and we have the inevitable and endless obstacles to hurdle, but we're getting there surely; there's a great deal of stubborn determination being applied here.  What has surprised me however, is the number of opportunities that have presented themselves - opportunities that could so easily have been overlooked or written off as problems, but they have actually helped us create an even better showroom, and will now offer our Customers abundant choice.  So the moral to this story, in the words of the great Napoleon Hill is this: "opportunity has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat".

So that's me away now, having written the shortest blog post yet, but I have innumerable tasks ahead and Crap Printer to do battle with this afternoon, as I seriously object to paying for poor service, bad judgements and assumptions that were not his to make.  Hey ho, off I go - chat again soon.

PS: The opportunity that came disguised in the form of misfortune with Crap Printer, is that I have now made the acquaintance of Supreme Printer, whose skill and professionalism is simply outstanding.  Every cloud...
