I have ice making machine factory a fun
I hope you're sharing the experience of this gorgeous autumn weather the Pacific
Northwest is blessed with today! I have ice making machine
factory a fun 'thought' to share with you, especially if you are considering
a change of any sort.This past weekend I toured beautiful vineyards in the Walla
Walla wine country. For those of you unfamiliar with this lush region in
Washington state, it produces such wines as L'Ecole, Woodward Canyon, Pepper
Bridge, Three Rivers and Seven Hills. All vineyards have a backdrop of the Blue
Mountains.We had visited the extraordinary Walla Walla winery, and had a
singular opportunity in meeting with their winemaker. He was not what I imagined
a winemaker to beelderly, short, and stout with a red nose. He was young,
athletic, toned and he enthusiastically demonstrated a love for his craft and
for life.I asked him how he got into this profession, thinking it had been
handed down for generations. Another surprise! He told me that in the past, he'd
worked for Nordstrom as a corporate purchasing agent. The next question was
obvious. "How did you get here from there?"As with many individuals wishing to
make a change, he woke up one morning and decided he wanted more. He was not
unhappy with his profession or place of residence. He was accomplished,
respected and 12V portable
refrigerator factory well-compensated.A person doesn't have to be unhappy to
seek out more in life. They just have to be curious, have that undeniable inner
inkling, and the drive to make it happen.Where most of us get held up is with
the 'what ifs', 'how's' and 'what will people think if I fail.' We allow old
tapes of 'but this is all I know' to hold us back. Believe me, you have so much
more expertise right here and now than you can begin to realize.I love it when
an executive tells me: "All I know is this product. I don't want to go back to
school, but how can I transfer this knowledge into a more intriguing
profession?"I then have them list the expertise developed in working with this
specific product and ask: "What proficiencies do you have that could be valuable
in an entirely different industry than your current position?" This time, they
are the ones who are surprised.The Nordstrom corporate buyer decided that the
life he wanted for his family was in the Walla Walla Valley Appellation. What
was his transferable expertise? Stop reading for a moment, close your eyes and
think about it. What does every vineyard desire?Yes, his sales and marketing
acumen. Our storyteller made a win-win bargain with the winemaker. If this
winemaker would teach him to make wine, then the former buyer would teach the
winemaker to market and sell it. Brilliant!This week think of your experience.
What expertise have you developed that are now transferable skills? You don't
have to plan a major life change to appreciate this new knowledge. It's simply
another tool in your toolbox that can be pulled out as is needed. Enjoy your
discoveries and have a superb week.
