I’ve got a couple of big wins this quarter, and now I’m trying to decide whether to cash out and take a break or reinvest into some new plays. My gut says to keep going, but I’m also wary of pushing my luck. How do you decide when to take a breather?

Was it something you had your eye on before those wins? I would consider that above all else. Sometimes it is tempting to do something new when you have it burning a hole in your pocket, but I wouldn’t do it just to do it either. Patience is a virtue and all that jazz.

I'd question whether or not it's your gut that's telling you to keep going or whether it's just the rush of success that's telling you to keep going? I feel like my decision to take a breather is determined by lots of different things but right now I'm taking a breather because of all the post-election ups and downs. I want to wait and see what the first few months of 2025 look like before I jump back in

Always always pay yourself. You won’t regret taking profits and doing something worthwhile with it. It’ll motivate you going forward as well.

My parents are visiting this week and mom and I made dinner tonight. Salmon is seasoned with Trader Joe’s ajika (a Georgian spice blend) and we just roasted the broccoli. The standout is the mejadara. It’s spiced rice and lentils with fried onions and is popular throughout the Middle East. We used the recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s cookbook, Jerusalem.

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis? When I’ve worked with service designers the output seems to be another version of a process map, are there other skills and experience needed? I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...

This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.
