I more than ever believe that you must show up and do the work even if you’re in a bad mood, even if you are having a headache.

Always showing up will strengthen your will, and will allow you to surpass any obstacle that might cross your way.

There comes a time when you start thinking more about family than couple, more about us than we.

It’s a subtle change in vision, but it defines what you will become.
To me has happened recently and it’s becoming every day more important.

It’s moving out of a comfort zone to enter an entire new world, totally unknown.

I slacked, again.

Failed to check-in in 3 days for this blog, and it’s bad.
At first I thought I could just pass it on, but everytime I skip the habit it becomes clear how much I’m losing.

It’s like skipping an heartbeat, you don’t quite notice, but it’s a signal that your body is has issues.
And if you don’t fix it, you might die.

Keeping good habit is almost the same thing.
In the routine you forgot why you decided to keep that habit up, and in my case that was “changing, improving, etc”.
Which obviously I’m not doing if I don’t care and leave the habit aside.

So here I am. Let’s keep going-

I am a strong believer in bootstrapped services, it’s easy for them to be accountable, to grow with the users.

The funding thing is nice, but it leaves space for service to fail, badly.
This type of failure is often accompanied with a bunch of people who were absolutely deluded by the service closure.

Funding, on the other hands, allows services to do bigger things.
Many revolutionary services wouldn’t be born without the flow of money of a funding mostly because creating a big revolutionary system requires money, at least on a large scale.

Growing slow isn’t sexy, we are used to read about how Facebook, whatsapp, and other tools were born, and we forget that many of them grew slowly.

Many multi million business weren’t born in a night.
Some of them did, but many of them grew slowly and steadily.

The boostrapped way.

Keep going even when you fail, that’s the best way we have to continue learning and growing.

Nobody changed his life surrending.

They all kept going, failure after failure.
