Rebooted, I have just pressed the reboot button on my life, beliefs, fears, what I think I know. The good thing is there is no backup! I'm starting from scratch. Okay, well not completely from scratch.
I was privileged to have the opportunity to listen to Sean Stephenson at Robin Robin's quarterly meeting. Sean struck something in me that made me realize that I will make a difference in this world. I plan to utilize some of the best resources that I have available to me to accomplish this. This is going to be a long journey I'm interested to see where it takes me and how long it takes to accomplish my goals. The faster I meet my goals the faster I can start to make a difference.
So, let me share a little about who I am. My name is Ted Freitas. I was born in San Jose California July 17th 1975. I don't remember much of my childhood but where I start to remember things is around the age of 10 when I moved to Manteca. I grew up in Manteca from age 10 - 18. When I got out of High School I moved down to Visalia, CA with a friend to help his grandfather run his business. Around 1996 I moved to Hanford and took my first IT job, I was a break-fix guy and rapidly moved up through the chain and when I finished with that company I had accomplished allot in a short period of time. In 2000 I started my own break-fix / managed services business. I have been at it for 10 years and while I do have a few things to show for it I don't have as much as I believe I should have. Why you ask? Because my BUT has been in the way.
I had the opportunity to hear Sean Stephenson speak yesterday. He had allot of good information some of which helped me though an issue that I had last night. Something resonated with me durning his speech and now I am going to "Reboot" my life to implement what Sean has so generously shared with me. I am almost done with the book that Robin and Sean gave to the group, many of you probably saw me sitting in the lobby reading last night, guess what, I have a leg up on you now! ;) I woke up this morning feeling more alive that I have in a long time. I've already fired off an e-mail to Robbin and I have allot more to do today! I will finish Sean's book today and will continue to implement allot of what Sean shares with me over the course of the rest of my life.
My vision for this blog is to share with you the Reboot that has just occurred. I will share with you how my life changes from this point forth. I hope this will inspire some people to follow suite and maybe reboot their lives. I hope that you will find this information useful and informational.
So here is what is to come in the near future.
Not am I only rebooting my life I am rebooting my business. I told Robin that I was going to use this blog to hold myself accountable. I plan to document how this reboot affects my life business. I have allot to do and it all starts with the Business Plan, that's one of the other books I am reading! I think I have another business owner who will be joining me and together we are going to turn our businesses around for the greater good. I still have more to learn about Tim, but I have a feeling that he and I are going to accomplish some amazing things. I personally have something so HUGE that I can barley contain myself. Some of you already know what it is and I just ask that you keep it a secrete until we revel it at the right time and place. However that said, I decided I can't revel it to the world until I get my first business squared away. I have to get it back on auto-pilot before I can go on to the next project. There might come a time when I run them in parallel but I honestly think I need to get business one squared away first.
So my Rebooted Life starts today, it's going to be a long journey, let's see how quickly things turn around by just thinking a little differently!
