Hard work pays: Highlights of last month

Entrepreneurship is truly a Roller coaster and I sure am enjoying the ride.
In the last month I have been quite busy but on a positive note this time:
* We (Global Navigation) have received 3 Purchasing orders all at once (as they say, when it rains it pours :) Yes, theories, Business plans and all I have talked about in the last few months has been translated into real work..... Yes Hard HARD Hard work always pays off...... But you have to believe in yourself and your company first, then everybody else will follow.
* I have recently joined a wonderful Organization MAC: The Moroccan American Circle. It is a great way to meet people that share similar experiences (Moroccans who studied/worked in the US or vice versa). I have met many old friends, and got to know new ones. I take this organization very seriously and I think it will be very rewarding to all its members.
* The Global Navigation team is expanding, we have hired a new Engineer with yet a different background. (Ingenieur Agronome with 1 year GIS expertise in CRTS)
* Rekia (our Geology PH.D.) is managing 7 part tome technicians in the Field and I think she is learning a great deal about managing GIS projects on the field (I feel good about her development as well as my development in delegating such important tasks to members of the team.......
* Last but not least, I am signing an Agreement (Convention) with Faculté des science of HAssan 2 University. I believe this will be beneficial to the GIS students as well as to our company...


Yes.... A lot of things are happening...... I will try to keep you guys posted despite my busy schedule....

Have a great one, and do not forget: HARD WORK really pays off :)
