Miracle Director Training Program

It has been a hectic week. My wife got a job and is now working 32 hours a week, that took less then 2 weeks, and on her first day I was in Denmark with my good friend Mogens Norgaard from Miracle Denmark. He said to me that I should come and be part of the Miracle Director Training Program. Last week it was Thomas Presslie from Miracle Scotland who got the same treatment.

The training program is pretty though and Mogens took a picture of me this morning after I had slept a couple of hours on the couch in the office. Ofcourse one has to wake up if the first people get into the office: "Good Morning Anjo!" So I roll of the couch and go the yellow house and fire up the laptop at the big Oaktable (yes that famous table) and I start doing email.

So we are making plans for Miracle Benelux and we are planning some Oracle and SQL Server events in November and December. We will present some of the big names of the Oracle and SQL Server world. So keep your calender and budget available for these events :)

More info on these events later .......

(I got some problems posting the picture, will try to figure it out later)

Back again

It took a while for a new post to show up on this blog, but I am back. The reason for that is that I quit my comfy job at Symantec and will startup Miracle Benelux together with Mogens Norgaard. So now I can post what ever I want without having some corporate lawyer looking over my shoulder.

So why quit? I tried to make a difference for close to 5 years and after the 3rd reorg in the last 3 years I realized that I wouldn't be able to make the product and the difference that I wanted. I am used to change and change is good if progress is made to achieve your goal. But I felt that all the changes where actually causing us to loose focus on what needed to be done. And working for a large company on a product that has less than 2 percent revenue impact ............

So is the new thing going to be easy? Of course not, but I will have fun trying!

Will keep you posted on the progress!
