Today I attended a company meeting with some upper management and financial officers. The goal, plan out a test program in my district, what it will take to impliment, then create a proposal for it to be rolled out to the whole company. Won't go into details, but a couple things really blew my mind, because I have never been involved in in the descision making process of things this big before.
To roll out test in my district for 8 weeks alone would cost estimated $125,000, and then to impliment program company wide, would run a yearly cost of $15.5mil. Yes thats $15,500,000. It took us about an hour to get to these numbers using the data we where given, and wehn I mentioned it to my CFO, with a huge gulp I might add, he just nodded and said, we should probably add couple million just to be safe.
Then afterwards, my boss gave us some more info about company goals and growth possibilites, that really got me excited, especially because he followed up with an email later in the evening, telling me his plan is to have me ready to take his place when he gets his goal of moving up. This would be exactly what what I want. A promotion, new challenge, without having to move.
I also was asked by our VP of sales and CFO to attend 2 more meetings next week. Now I love the oppotunites, but I still have to do my regulary scheduled job as well, phew. Its gonna be a busy month.
To add to this a good friend of mine got came to me with what I think is a very good business opportunity, something that could take a while to get going, but I think has a lot of potential.
All in all I have to say I might be praying for some serious guideance soon. But I am not going to complain when the guideance neededs is of this nature.
Rock on with your bad self! Just don't kill anybody. Saw a movie with Michael Cain in it. Things really didn't work out for him in the end.
