WIN THE DAY

I recently read that one should not plan out their career, but rather focus on being great today to create more options in the future. I couldn't agree more.

Work

I have a lot of goals for 2013, but it all begins with today. WIN THE DAY. I am working on a new product for our company. I am in running the product development of a new product possibly the most important product for our company. This new product might be its own division or company in the future. The development is FAST/SLOW, meaning we sprint until we get to a product, then we carefully test, test, redevelop, test, redevelop, test, then market. During the testing period/redevelop/test, etc. I am also working on my immediate income producing projects at work. My goal/plan is to move full time as a manager of the new product once it comes to market, but for now I must WIN  THE DAY.

Road to Solo Entrepreneurship  

Outside of work, I have made a commitment to lean ruby on rails HTML5, JavaScript,  write a blog and an app. I have a challenge I am going to set for myself next year (more on that later). Did I mention I am taking CS classes at night?  The reason I am taking on the extra workload is the f act I have a lot of ideas that I want to turn into apps and/ software. Yes there is a lot on my plate, but I am the most successful when my time is limited. The only way to achieve this is to Dream Big and Implement small- WIN THE DAY.

My Challenge to Myself

I recently read a great post on Nathan Barry's blog, http://nathanbarry.com, and decided to use it as a format for my own challenge. Nathan has challenged himself to develop an app in 6 months which is producing 5,000/month income. My idea is to develop my first App this year, that is producing $2500 income. I am going to do this by solving a problem in a niche industry. I have the industry. I have the problem. Now I need to find a tech-co-founder or learn to code myself. I will update my blog throughout the year on the progress I am making on my APP.
