It was a month of ups & downs
as mentioned in the previous post
have lost a source of large volume projects
for real for long term basis
due to failed price negotiation
that puts a frown to
kick start to November with
yet it wasn’t that bad after all
as my sales in October picked up
ever since the trough i was trapped in
for the past quarter
and due to the same reason
the mid annual target
has been achieved by end of October
and all i need is to work a bit harder
to hit the max annual target
- min annual target – to make end’s meet
- mid annual target – an ideal income level
- max annual target – the best it can be
the stress level is greatly reduced
as i headed off for a one week break
to kick start November with
the first piece of work was
a write-up on African safari tour
during my island vacation
the supposedly second piece of work
came in on a Saturday morning
i spent 2 hours doing quotation
as the translation was all over the place
yet didn’t manage to secure the project
as mentioned earlier on top
you can’t capture a bird which
has already flown out of the cage
that gave me a work-free weekend
and some rest before I
officially kick start November
the forecast was negative as
the large volume source has been lost
the sales on the first week was literally nil
and picking up really slow on the 2nd week
however
it took a turn during the second half
as i managed to secure a large volume task
during the middle of the month
1 week plus of hard work with proper timeline
did pay well as the task contributed to
50% of my monthly sales
and these are completed
under a well-arranged schedule of
starting as early as 4 AM and
strictly no work after 5 PM
with occasional nap if required
