Can’t believe time goes by so fast. It’s about time to confess again. My weekend confession becomes my only motivation to post on this blog. I don’t really have motivation to post technology stuff on this blog any more. It’s my little place to get something out of my chest, so I can move on to next step.

In the past week, I got a lot of things done. Most importantly, I have moved forward on my project. I am so glad that wife will come home next week after a month family trip to Hong Kong. I am kind of missing her. I am also glad that I was able to control myself to work even harder in the past week.

My entrepreneur journey has been rough. It’s not easy for me to jump into the business and marketing circle from the logical IT industry without any frustration and disappointments.

I started joining local business community and start meeting local business people to understand where I stand and how I can facilitate my business with others. Things are NOT always going the way I want, which is totally reasonable. However, I just can’t believe that I am still too naive. I am too new to the brutal business world.

I don’t really feel upset at all, because I can actually see the real world business operation and how to work with other businesses and learn from them. Here is something I have learned.

• Be honest. Tell people the truth about your businesses. Exaggeration doesn’t make your look good in the competition after all.
• Don’t be too naive. Business world is very cold blood in many cases. It’s simply deal or no deal world. Don’t just fall in love with people, who simply just want to be nice.
• Not everyone take it the same way. I am little disappointed by the fact that everyone takes a statement so much differently. Some people look very nice, but can’t take a simple thing. They take it personally or politically.
• There is no enemy in the business world. Everyone is your friend. They either give your a helping hand or simply give you the good example of who you don’t want to be.
• There is no best friend in the business world. Business is business. Best friend may not save your businesses.
• Mind your own business. It doesn’t mean you should not help other people’s business. It means you should take care of your business before taking care of others. If you cannot do your business right, you will be just one of those in the death-pool history book.
• Never say never.  People always change their mind. Situation always changes. Good thing often come at the worst time.

I am so glad that the web site is getting more and more traffic everyday. Even though I have not made any profit yet, it won’t be to far away. Many start-up companies start making profit in 3 to 5 years. I have few more years to join them.

There are too many things to do. Marketing in the traditional way is probably the quickest way for now. I will also apply the AdWords to bring some extra traffic and hopefully get some conversion.

After all, I was not very happy about the programming progress, but I am happy that I reach out and made some connections. Getting real positive feedbacks is priceless.
