I beg your indulgence for pausing today from my usual posts to mark an important personal milestone. I'll be crossing my Rubicon tomorrow. I'm leaving behind the security of a full-time consulting job, which I have held for the past six years, for the rough and tumble of entrepreneurship.
I'm moving back to the feast or famine environment that I used to know in investment banking, but without the reassuring thought of a guaranteed paycheck and the all-out support from a large organization. I've prepared myself for this, by allowing for a gradual transition and by choosing my business partners from among my very best buddies in my previous incarnations as an investment banker and corporate planner. Still, some anxieties remain. So, this is what they mean by leaving one's comfort zone.
I left the office later than usual today, filing away my things in peerless boxes after wrapping up my final job--a risk analysis of twin hydropower plants to be rehabilitated. I'm amazed at how fast I still accumulate documents despite the advent of a paperless office. I needed four peerless boxes to stash away what I had accumulated over those six years. Old habits die hard perhaps. Or could it betray a subconscious yearning for the lasting over the ephemeral?
It's almost midnight here in Metro Manila. Got to go. But I'll take mental note of what I feel or think about first thing tomorrow when I wake up--as I finally cross my Rubicon...

From time to time I'm thinking of crossing the rubicon, too. But this is a very important step and because of several reasons I hesitate to do so.
So I want to express my sincere respect for your decision and the step across the rubicon. I wish you good luck!
Many thanks, fwhmm. I really need all the luck I can get.
Hi is this blog still live?
Yes, I've decided to keep this blog live although the frequency of my posts has admittedly slowed down due to my workload. Sorry for that, dear blog readers.
