I have my first client! Yay! OK, it’s Eric’s sister but she’s an actual paying customer who needs me to do some HR-related work for her. I say it counts. At any rate it’s all forward progress, no matter how small, in the direction of people paying me to do things I know how to do.
Eric has also made some fantastic contacts in the Israel theatre world. Someone he has worked with here in LA produces a lot of theatre over there and knows a lot of people. Someone wants to meet with him when we get to Tel Aviv. Weee!
At some point I was complaining about how much harder it is to leave the country for several months at 35 as opposed to 22 (the last time I did it). One advantage about being 35 is that we know more people, have more experience and have a much broader network that we can try and tap if we need to.
