Thank you also for reminding me that I have not been a great steward of what I believe in with myself. I now know what I need to do, why it hasn't been working. How's this for a start: I can organize your mess and your desk; am the client liaison you have been wishing for; find solutions to your challenges that work; create written and marketing materials without you standing over my shoulder; welcome unknown waters and challenges; and give you back the time you need to make the big things happen. I can keep your secrets secret too. Are you are ready to run your business like a Mercedes? I have the key. Hmmm, maybe that's a bit much, but it's a good start for such a late hour. I'll work on it. Wow, do I have a lot of ideas. Thanks for the inspiration! Many Blessings for a wonderful and prosperous New Year!

I was hired for my expertise in a field the company wanted to improve numbers and wanted to focus on. However, 7 weeks after joining the company, The corporate ownership (investment company) changed the focus and wanted all employees (buyers and sellers to sell fresh meat & poultry, not my expertise. I went to work on it finding leads and making some sales. Also I have been outside sales most of my career, This commodity selling was inside. The previous 7 weeks were basically a waste of time. I believe the company really wanted my numerous relationships with well over 100 distributors and Manufacturers I developed and grew in a previous job to this last one. I am telling you all this because I have sincerely enjoyed your news articles about life and how these stories have really made me feel connected to your experiences. I have enjoyed them so much, I put aside time just for them! I marvel at how you put these experiences into words impacting many people's lives, especially mine. Though I am writing you Sunday evening, with the dreaded Monday morning on the horizon, I am embracing the next day hopeful that a new position for me awaits. Yes, I do feel unique and will tell that future employer so. Thank you very much for the inspiration. Sincerely, Michael Sklar michael@ingis.com Mr. Barnes,
