Nearing First Project Completion

Finally nearing the first project completion. There are always a million more ways I can go with the project I am doing. I have decided to mark it as phase 1 and will complete phase 2 somewhere in the future.

888 #

I just added an 800 number to my vonage line. This line is used for my security for paging me if the alarm goes off at the server room. You can call me anytime. :)

Pacing My Self

Thursday last week, was a tough day for me. After spending so many hours in front of the computer the previous days, I realized I had to pace myself. I forget, I get burned out after working on code for so long. So on Friday I did some on site work which was great, and now I'm refreshed and feeling rested.

I am real goal oriented and constantly revising my project goals so I can get to where I want to go. This I find takes much self initiation, which is probably one of the things I like most about being self employed but some days, it can be the worst. This is where I guess God teaches me perseverance. Pushing on despite all environmental circumstances. Like putting on race horse blinders. I find myself not able to persevere when I loose site of my goals. I usually think of my goals as my dreams or visions. Some might call it hope. Just writing this reminds me of what I want to do.

Friday was a great day, and things are finally coming together. I have more good news coming soon!

My Friends

I also want to recognize to great friends that help me and with out there support I don't think I would be doing this. Jeremy and Joel, or Joel and Jeremy :). We also are on this adventure together, as we partner on some part of the projects.

Day 11 - About My Mission

What the, making a blog, takes time :). I have decided to write about me, tougher than I thought it would be.

The question is will I start bringing in enough cash to last longer and will I development enough web services that start bringing in monthly subscription fees in the next few months to allow me to earn money.

I have a server room in Arlington, Washington with my own servers. The internet connection and electricity are draining my check book faster than I thought it would. I have developed a php/mysql framework to host web services I developed in a multiuser/permissions framework. Its taken me a few years of working on the side to develop the code to host my own web services. Sometimes, I am proud of the code I wrote, but most of the time, I get this doubt that it won't succeed. But with out taking the risk, I would never know if I could make it. I don't want to look back and say, shoulda woulda coulda, only if. I'm nearly 33, got 4 kids, and a cool wife. I know she thinks I am crazy half the time with all the stuff I try.

I want to thank my Mom and Dad for there support. And most of all I have to thank my wife for her patience.

So here I go, taking the biggest risk I have ever taken. Mostly because I have more to loose this time.
