Ok it’s been a while since my last post and much has happened. I had a great Christmas and New Years and got to spend a lot of time with the family. I also did quite a bit on my dissertation after my advisor got my drafts back to me. More importantly though is what’s […]

Waiting…
Image via Wikipedia Well, as I posted on the blog about a month ago I pretty much finished my dissertation. I was originally planning on defending during the last week of the semester (last week) but a variety of factors conspired against me – my advisor was in China and quite busy, I couldn’t afford […]

Small business owners must be jack of all trades
Long time since my last post. Been very busy writing my dissertation as well as making some changes to ELITETRACK and totally redoing the store and services section of the HPC site. I’ve actually been doing quite a bit of web work lately on my various sites. With the HPC site the changes were business […]
Lost and Found
Killed it. Over the past week, that’s what I did. I finally found the focus that had been alluding me. I’m really get at getting things done, just not always the most pressing things. The past 2 weeks have been different though. Last week was especially good. I finished Chapter 3 of my dissertation, finished […]
Dissertation Progress Update
I know, I know. I haven’t been posting too much on here. Or on ELITETRACK for that matter. In fact, even my inbox has been collecting some rare dust over the past 2 weeks. Client call backs are a little more delayed. HPC related business projects are being temporarily postponed. It’s all for good reason […]
Dissertation Writing Overload
I’m feeling the pressure of finishing my dissertation. I had a stats section mixup that I had to go back and fix and then had to rewrite quite a bit of the discussion. This took some time I didn’t feel like I had. I’ve been getting a ton of writing done but my mind is […]

Do As I Say, Not As I Do
Well, so much for dropping the full time job to concentrate on my dissertation. My plate is officially too full once again. For goodness sake’s I can’t even follow my own advice. I haven’t written more than a paragraph on my dissertation in the last week (although I did finish the stats!) because I’ve been […]

Tackling Monumental Tasks
As I’m forced to remind myself from time to time, my current focus is on finishing my doctoral dissertation. When I left LSU several years ago I was done with what seemed to be ‘the hard part’ at the time but little did I know that the real ‘hard part’ would be in getting myself […]

Dissertation Writing- Ugh
Well, I have to be honest. For the last couple days I’ve little to nothing on my dissertation. Despite the fact that it SHOULD be my primary focus right now, my OCD/ ADD has gotten the best of me. I’ve been spending too much time blogging about the Olympics on ELITETRACK, setting up streams of […]

Welcome to MeDirected
Hey. Glad you found the site. Welcome to my new home. I started this site to blog about my new life. If you aren’t aware, I was a collegiate coach for the past couple years trying to juggle that and my business startup venture. A month ago I resigned at the United States Miliatary Academy […]
