- Found out love in business is infectious and unstoppable kinda like herpes, so am trying to refrain from hugging everyone
- Saw a corgy (weird dog with nubs for legs) out the window, managed to not run outside and chase it
- Helped an elderly lady cross the street and swiped 5 dollars from her purse when she wasn't looking (bad, but better than pushing her over)
- Grabbed a drink at the water cooler where the hot girl works, made a frown when she didn't look at me
- Got a soda from the vending machine, gave it to the homeless guy outside and asked for a bit of his bread he had as a trade

The above is just a joke of course but my attitude has been really dynamic, where I see everything as a business opportunity. I have become incurably curious about the strangest things. For example... I walked past a ferris wheel and I stopped and started counting the people, I then observed the cafe beside it and thought about asking when their peak hours were and when they were quiet to make an estimation on their numbers. (why? I have NO idea)

- Developed graphs and notes on market segments, product traits (and their ratios of dominance compared to others) tried to identify a larger trend/reasoning behind why those numbers were coming up
- Reassessed the current biz plan and created a simple and funny infographic that represents the businesses goal and how we get there
- Reorganised the company messages/branding, to fit into more scenarios, and reinvented the angle inwhich we attack product development so that it only requires ONE input from the customers (instead of asking over and over again) this allows all products to be developed from profiles we can harvest directly from traffic (allowing me to create a fully automated marketting plan that can drive product creation and enable me to hire workers as the demand picks up)
- Decided to simplify the company aim so that it was more irrefuteable, more catchy, and was simple to grasp the purpose of
- Solidified the company's "authority" and created a series of measures to ensure we are ALWAYS meeting customer needs, rain, hail, or shine
- Paved the way to get designers, web dev, and a film guy to come into the fold, whilst monetising those expenses through newer traffic

(two thumbs up)
Its been a fun week, I can't remember back more than a week though... Too much vodka
