As always, it’s been a little while since I’ve posted. Sorry, no excuses.
However, life is exciting and good in regards to the business plan and moving in the direction of China. After my bosses’ return from China a few weeks ago, we were better able to discuss our next steps. One of my on-going concerns throughout this process has been “Is this actually a feasible idea?”… and finally I feel as though I’m getting my answer.
If we are able to continue in this process, the next step for me would be to travel to China and work for an educational consulting group for three to six months. The educational consulting group is a direct contact that my boss has in China. This experience would provide me the opportunity to live in and get re-acquainted with China, building relationships and seeing first-hand the process behind creating and sustaining a successful (or unsuccessful) language program. I’m really really excited for the next step because it would provide a much-needed and beneficial “stepping stone” that could help our program, and get it underway.
BUT… one thing stands in our way. Financing. To get the next step, we will need the financial (and complete!) support of the organization I’m currently working for. Hopefully next week, we will present them with a proposal of why they should send me to China. It’s incredibly nerve-wracking to know that four months of hard work could be finished in the blink of an eye. I’m excited to see and know the outcome… but nervous as well.
So, that’s where we stand right now. On the verge. Its exciting to see the possibilities ahead… but it’s scary too. It would be a total life transformation. But I think I’m ready.
Until next time (and the verdict is in…)…
