I find these days I am spending a lot of my time "planting" seeds I hope will bear fruit someday. The economy and a generally "sluggish" period, allows me to focus on sowing - many more seeds than I generally would sow, so that just a few of them might sprout. And because I never know just which will be the flowers, more is better--just keep those seeds a sprinkling in many different areas of my proverbial "garden."
That means that my average day tends to be diffused. I allocate time to research and development, to sharpening my skills and to networking--both on and offline with old contacts and new ones. I find that everyone seems to be in a similar scramble-mode these days, although many choose not to admit it. Like fishermen or hunters, they don't want to reveal where they plan on snaring their "big catch" and if you ask them, they will tell you that everything is just fine and they're not hunting at all, but rather are - taking a nice boat ride or walk in the woods to "rejuvinate."
You can be sure they are scrambling along with the rest of the safari, perhaps venturing out into uncharted territories. One thing you can be certain of, there are still uncharted territories, money is still available to be made and some will come up with a bountiful harvest, after all the seeds are sown and the crop is grown.
