As announced earlier, I will be devoting my mental and physical energies to helping a local business, Eruptik Technologies, promote its information management ideas.
It’s 3:37 a.m. now. I just came back from a trip to the convenience store where I read this article: “After Bill [Gates]” in The Economist.
Of all that Microsoft hopes to achieve in the post-Gates era, one goal dominates all others — even catching Google. That is to become the dominant force in the forthcoming era of cloud computing…”
Rather than being a big chunk of code sitting on a hard disk on your desk, software will come “as a service” over the internet through a browser.
…
Fewer people will put the PC at the centre of their computing universe; it will be one of many devices connected through the web, which Mr Ozzie calls the “hub”.
That is what we are doing, with a special twist.
This adds satisfaction and confidence to my decision to choose this company at this time. We’re at the forefront of a technology movement and our founder has been working on his ideas for over 10 years.

On Monday, I began training full time as an Account Manager for Eruptik, a Victoria Tech company.
This means I’m no longer available to fly to Toronto to begin sales training to work for a Fortune 500 company which interested me greatly nor will I work for another local company which was talking about creating a special position for me to execute a marketing campaign for them.
It also means ChristophDollis.com is no more. It now redirects here.
That website served me well as it focussed my thinking on the type of work I want to do, even when temptations abounded to abandon my dreams and take work in other fields.
I also successfully used ChristophDollis.com as a learning tool as my understanding of myself and selling grew; it tracked my early efforts to organize myself using the Getting Things Done methadology, served in part to document and explain my understanding and working in earnest on applying the Carnegie secret from Think and Grow Rich, crystalized my thinking on the “Do it now!” habit, served in part as impetus for gaining the specialized knowledge and skills which lead to that epiphany, was a welcome home to develop and put in writing my “Ready, Fire, Aim” selling philosophy, and more.
Now is time to enjoy work, produce, and manage my time tightly in pursuit of my purpose.
Keeping up one personal website will be quite enough. If I start another site, for example, a blog and/or homepage, it will be a specialized communication tool to help my clients and advance the goals of my company.
