great article..

I am in the final financing run of a start-up here in usualy sunny South Africa.

I have close relationships with developers but since my businesses are rarely based on software tweaks I tend to be feature averse. For me the best applications are rich with simplicity. That’s why i tend to cut down on wishlists rather than build them up.

In case anyone needs to be re-inspired may i humbly recommend “Going postal” by Terry Pratchett. Although the business story is more of a turnaround, it is fantastically inspirational and has given rise to my favourite concept – “Move fast, you never nkw who is catching you up”

Later

Howzit.

Thats the truth isnt it. Sometimes i get so cuaght up making wonderful plans and designing logos that i get scraed to put the stuff up in the window. After all no one pays me for the work i didnt present and like the great Wayne gretsky said.. you miss 100% of the shots you dont take. Like everything else in the world, reuslts are what matter. but of course its important to properly define results and tie them to what matters, making money now.
