Renee Patrick Spent a few hours teaching myself to tele today, trying to figure out where to go on a two week trip before my summer gig with Outward Bound starts! I'm more of a hiker than anything else, and much of the juicy spots are still under snow in the NW...

It seems like a very complicated issue, especially in Oregon where there is so much logging...I will read more on the site!

Stanley Lee I have had a day where I have been flooded with different functional team meetings (for different courses and organizations), and walking through a technical career fair (which I wasn't very effective today, knowing that the particular opportunities are either too competitive for me or not fulfilling enough, i.e. I don't want to apply for them knowing that they suck, but that's another story). How do you all tackle situations/days where you felt you haven't accomplished any or enough tasks? Thx.

The thing is I've had problems finding even "decent" match, if you want to use that analog. Before I digress, my main question was really about how to cope with moments of minimal productivity. Perhaps I'm too tough on myself, although I physically and emotionally feel miserable coping with the workload and knowing little has accomplished.

It sounds like you accomplished quite a lot today actually, but it is your feelings that are tied into your activities. Your mood and what you have accomplished can be 2 different things. I can have certain feelings about a job (not liking it)and so when I put it on my resume I downplay my achievements or don't realize them. I've had to mentally take a step back and separate accomplishments/tasks from feelings - they don't always match. Also, I've never found a career fair helpful.

Renee Patrick I'm looking to find work in the outdoor industry, possibly start a new guiding business in my area (Bend, OR) and am extremely daunted by the prospect of starting from scratch and getting away from what I really love and why I'm entertaining the idea in the first place, living and working in the wilderness. Are there any people in a similar place in the outdoor industry? I'm hesitant to put too much into a suffering economy when I would be providing a luxury service...

I've already done the Americorps thing building trail in Colorado, am a guide for another company have have about 7,000 backpacking miles under my belt. It seems to me a business is the next logical step, just very hesitant/scared about going on my own right now! I think approaching SBA is a great next step...

That's the beauty of this business, is that most people who take advantage of these services do so on the weekend. Also, have you thought about partnering with an existing guiding business and perhaps add a new service or new trips?
