Well, last week I wrote about the demise of DroneLab, and I decided (in my head) that I was going to start trying to write down some of the nuggets of wisdom that I've picked up over the last ten years of working on one product.
However, I find myself with only fifteen minutes today to actually sit down and dedicate to this post, so this will be the first in a series of 'surgical strikes'. The way I figure it is this - if I can do fifteen minutes a week, then perhaps there's a chance I can actually start getting something out that's actually worthwhile at some point in the future.
Besides, there are other things that I've been up to in the last five years, and some of them have been measurably more successful and perhaps more worthy of exploration that certain software based endeavours.
One of the battles of being a so-called 'entrepreneur' is the constant need to come up with something that is 'worthwhile', but also something that pays the bills, and the two are not necessarily intrinsically compatible with one another. It also needs to be something that you want to work on, and again, that's fairly critical to making it have worth and, crucially, staying power.
Change is one of those things that is constant, whether we like it or not, and, as a fellow entrepreneur (if you're reading this) you need to be ready for it to arrive and ready to adapt to it when it hits you.
I suppose that's where a certain degree of 'horizon scanning' needs to come into the equation, so make sure you're doing that.
That's not much in terms of wisdom for one day, but it is what it is, and it's a beginning.
