Get What You Want

A lot of the time I don't really know what I want out of life, not in detail anyway. I've spent a bit of time thinking about it, and ultimately, all I really want, or at least all I care about, is being loved. I'm not sure where the right and wrong is there, that's for another day.

Seeing as the above is not going to fill out the all day, everyday, I have my career too, and one of my goals with my consulting business is to become something of a tech pundit, and this is something I have taken baby steps towards recently. This week I took the unexpected step of filming a segment for NBC on wireless security. It was very random, a surprising amount of fun, and with any luck will be on the air very soon. So, I'm a little closer, and in a way I never dreamed.

Now how do I define my role in this context? I'll no longer be just a consultant, I'm a consultant who has appeared on the national network news discussing my field. In a certain sense, it's no big deal, but in another it is. After nearly 10 years in business, I know when to sell myself, if nothing else.

Just thoughts mind you.
