- Time of past OR future Camino
- Frances 15,16,18
VdlP 23, Invierno 23, Fisterra 23
A bit of perspective/background. I run my own business, with about 50 staff, and some would call me a workaholic. 80-90 hour weeks are not uncommon. Maybe I'm just not very good at it
Thoughts of our next Camino keep me going...............
So.......Bit of bad news over the weekend. Long story cut short.
Seems our largest client in my business (represents 30% of our business) has behaved in such a way that we may need to let them go.
(They have behaved in such a way that it compromises our core 'non negotiable' values)
Still to meet with them Monday but looking that way.
As the main 'rain maker' I'll need to find another major client fast, to keep everyone in the business fed......it will take 5-6 months of hard work (harder work)
Other words come to mind..............but for now, I'll stick with 'Bother'
But having walked 2 Caminos already, I am looking at this philosophically.
Maybe. slim chance. I can turn it around on Monday. Otherwise we'll just wait to join the class of 2019.
I have to say when I got the news yesterday, I felt like I was just about to finish a marathon, with the tape in sight, and the prize being our next Camino....................only to be told..............go around again Robo................you need to go around again first !
So OK........ Let's go around again first........... We can do this.
Note Added later. For those who are perhaps planning to walk their first Camino and suffer a setback. Don't despair, maybe your time is just not right yet......... It's waiting for you.

- I can't possible leave my team to fix this without me. So the decision is made for me anyway. No need to stress about it.
- The Camino will be there another time.
- We'll just need to wait another 12 months (as late April is our preferred time)
- And maybe, just maybe, someone 'up there' is telling me now is not the right time to walk again. Just not yet....
