New challenge + blogging hiatus

Things change, it's inevitable.
In November I took the decision to dive into a new professional challenge in Business Development/Marketing&Sales. I joined a a Barcelona-based company offering specialized consulting services in the software and technology sector.
One of the most important reasons why I accepted was my task: to start developing the Madrid market. Call it intrapreneurship or entrepreneurship. The fact was that we were 3, bootstrapping most things from scratch. A very interesting challenge, that thankfully forced me to "go into sales mode".The good side is that in 2 months we have managed to build a small but highly profitable customer base in Madrid, made the market aware of us and solidly implanted the company in this new market. Heck, we were doing so well that we even got acquired straight up after these two months! Profitablity and customer base, baby, that's the key.
The bad side is that my priorities shifted - hard Business Development is no joke - and the time I had allocated for blogging got drastically reduced.Hence the hiatus in blogging until now, which has included the holiday season.
I'm now re-adapting to this rhythm and hope to be able to accommodate some blogging into my "free" time.
Update: More blogging has NOT happened, and probably won't for some time.
