Do not quit your day job. Do not do a startup.
There’s a lot of a sanity in what bb says as he finishes his post here. There’s probably something more profound with the mantra “The boiling of the ocean begins with a single puddle”, but right now the ‘Do not quit your day job. Do not do a startup’ resonates more strongly. Life certainly would be less stressful had I listened to that. I might even have a new car by now, or at least eat out without thinking about cash flow. Instead, Sare, Marg and I have just finished slotting our first 1000 DVD suspension files together. Only another 3000 to go! And then there’s 4000 DVD’s to be barcoded, scanned and filed.
But, it’s nice to finally be at the business end of this venture. I’ve got our APPLEBOX sticker on my front door now! And one on the front gate. And on my neighbour’s tool shed (I don’t think she’s spotted it yet). And on my kitchen bench. We’ve got our posters all rolled up. Flyers and magnets on the way. The green looks to be under control, and the lease is signed and we’ll be getting the keys probably on monday. Another software release will be out shortly. In under a month we’ll be trading!
