New Decade, New Blog?

I've been considering taking up blogging again for a little while and, obviously, I'm giving it a whirl. I think instead of talking about specific projects I will try and focus on overall events without getting into specifics as then I don't have to dedicate hours on end to specific updates.

Having said all of that, I would note that the current climate seems to favor business development instead of pure one sector projects. In front of me are half a dozen new proposals at any given time - and while I appreciate the opportunities being offered, sometimes the players behind each are ... Intriguing.

With some deals - the key contact knows the figures, knows the terminology, and knows the industry well enough to repeat it in their sleep... But they are so difficult during the negotiations that their demeanor kills everything. Don't get me wrong - sticking to your guns or being a tough negotiator is a great trait, but some people really need to find a better passtime.

Maybe I'm just taking things the wrong way - at the end of the day the only person you can change is yourself.

But their must be a way to develop better deal flow... Maybe I need my own website? Or maybe that would just detract from the mystique. Heh.
