Plan for the next generation.

Professional Daily Diary – October 15, 2024

Morning:

Today started with a reminder about the importance of being on time with my work. I got a call from another engineer who needed some RCC details for a project. I had been putting off his request for almost three days because I was feeling lazy. I sent him some information, but he wasn't happy with it. This made me realize I needed to get serious, so I worked on the RCC design and completed it.

Afternoon:

After finishing the design, I sent it to him. I felt really sad because I knew I had disappointed him as a client. I should have done this work on time. This experience reminded me that meeting deadlines is crucial for keeping good relationships with my clients.

Evening:

Later in the day, I had a meeting with another client, which went well and helped lift my mood. On my way home, I started thinking about how to grow my consulting business. I talked with my wife about starting another business. We agreed that it would be great to set up something related to my current work that we could pass down to our children. This discussion opened my eyes to new opportunities for the future.

Professional Tip of the Day: Always be on time with your work. Delaying tasks can hurt your reputation and upset clients. Focus on your responsibilities and communicate well to keep strong professional relationships. Also, think about building a business that can grow and be passed down to the next generation.
