Purchasing groups -> Phase 2

Eight months ago on reports I have discovered the existence of gas.
Four months ago in It's' the right thing I found out what they are.
Today I gave my little contribution to the (perhaps) the creation of a new gas in my area.

Tonight I was (coincidentally and happily with my mother) at a meeting between some interested in joining a group buy in the area east Solidarity.
The first thing that struck me was the amount of people. I expected to be a dozen people and instead we were more than 40!

After an introduction by some guys gas Birula (really appreciated the job they are doing) we were divided into three groups and we have already laid the foundations to give birth to one of our microgas.

Beyond the considerations on gas, I must say that I really liked the dynamic of the encounter.

The thing that jumped over the eye is that "small is beautiful". It 'amazing how the mood of the event has changed since we were forty people, all as a kind of auditorium facing the slide projector and when we were in a smaller room, a dozen people all sitting around at a table.

Especially I like the contact with people. The see, meet and talk with other people. Get in the game, sharing, giving, receiving and maybe make some sacrifice in favor of the collective group. It 'a social thing that does not happen often.

Now let's see if it will work or not .. :)

I begin to dismantle

The feeling is strange. I seem to do things backwards. And 'as if you were making preparations to pull the plug.

Sometimes a company has a personality. They call it personality, but for those who have lived sometimes mean something more. Not that it is convinced of what I'm doing, but it really does seem to live down what I had given birth four years ago.
I see him in small things. Filling in forms. Call for public administration. Manage users. INPS. Current accounts. Contracts staff. Only this time I'm closing them. And it's strange because it's like you're tightening of the taps. And the company responds accordingly. Yeah do not get nearly as riba, and in a little will happen for f24, salaries, rent, bills .. as if the company was slowly losing less energy .. .. until we do the act of termination.

it is weird .. to think of it I'm talking about something that is tangible and visible .. But behind a name and a vat there is a lot. There are so many things. ideas. dreams. sacrifices. disappointments. successes. people.

I'm glad that the choice I made, but now I'm closing these valves, despite everything, I get a little choked me.

new era

Oh no .. is not a post that talks about the famous baseball caps. It 'a post about a nice change I am going to do. I like to call "experiment". Even if someone looked at me a little incredulous when I told it.

First, I close my company and my brother. After four years of ups and downs, mostly downs, I feel that it's time to take this step because now that reality has lost its reason to exist. Why mostly depends on me, and my life in recent months has led me to make a choice.

That sums up this example. Thanks to her I'm doing in school the other day I had the good fortune to spend an hour talking baseball with one of the guys that I coach and his parents. This for me was "brilliant", because instinctively I compared in my head with one of those boring hours of fruitless talks with representatives of commercial suppliers or customers.

First, warm, exciting, lively, joyful, intense.
Second, cold, fake, dull, deceitful, empty.

To which I wondered .. but who cares? To me, really, that I care to waste precious hours of my life behind these commercial logic, when I get a lot more when I pass an hour or so to teach children to play baseball?

And the rest came by itself. The first thing? I need help.

Yes, I say it openly. I need help right now because I think that alone be able to realize this thing is practically impossible.

The first people I asked were my support. It seems trivial, but for me it is not. I think this is the first in 29 years time I do it so openly. And I'm lucky, because the response I got from my and my brother when I told them about this thing, the eyes were smiling. Thanks, really.

In short then, will be taken from them for a part time job. This will give me an economic basis and give me more time to work in schools and in sports in general. Work? Yes Nowadays a person can decide to become a ski instructor, tennis, dance .. and if not quite a disaster can often also live with this activity. But in baseball, and more generally in minor sports, this is not yet possible.

I believe that with the sole purpose of being able to live decently, now spreading to gather tomorrow, here in Genoa, there is the possibility that in future a person might be able to put on at least a "half-pay" working within these sports. I had the good fortune to meet some people, very courageous, that they believed and they did. Others we are trying for a while and I'm sure that if they continue it will reach their goal.

Although sometimes it makes me a little afraid, I think this may be my way. Who knows. Once a person just met, telling her that I was a businessman told me: "oh, how strange! I thought the teacher was doing something ..". who knows .. maybe we had half guessed! :)

Well .. Only now I hope to be able to give back in some way, sport and personally, everything I have been given so far. I have a feeling that I'll remember 2009 for a long time ..
