Nice to be back! I usually do not write personal posts but this one specifically for myself, to open in few years and read it over. Today I had a feeling of a turning point, so strong that I couldn't sleep, and I'm afraid it will not leave me unless I will write this :)
This post is about my experience with opening startups and some statements from me to myself :)
It all started four years ago at the end of the spring 2007, when something happened and I felt like a huge information channel has opened, so I could see how technology and lifestyle might evolve in the nearest future. It was so interesting and excited, like watching a futuristic movie that looks like a dream. Internet communications, social interactions, mobile and wireless technologies and new lifestyle - all the things that I am interested in, particularly in definition and creation.
So I put everything aside and decided to completely focus on bringing those ideas to life by opening startups and implementing ideas / technologies that will be actual in 3-5 years (as I thought at that time). I was ready to spend 3-5-7 years on that before taking a break for a year or two, and then continuing with new ideas, etc...
I was ready to work 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, to solve any problem or difficulty, find friends and investors to share those ideas and work together to achieve goals. I was not going to give up on any situation and ready to always move forward. The problem is that you have to define some essential points in time and check the state on them, otherwise you can spend too much time inside the process. I had two such points where I could (read "should") stop and do something but I continued.
It is very hard to work on your startups. You act like a crazy working all the time, cutting yourself from life, friends, parties and vacations. Your family receives less attention. Learning new things in life might be postponed, like everything else with the thought that "will do it when I will have more time". It all brings to a state when you become physically and emotionally exhausted, and your financial situation is so bad that you start wondering on how you've got to that point. In my case - two major mistakes: diving into this lifestyle without having enough savings and not making a turnpoint decisions on time.
If there is any result, then you can justify yourself even on failure. If result is still in the future, then you need to change something (better yourself) or it will always be a process without having a result. I will continue to work on my ideas and startups, but I need to change myself first.
I decided to get back to life! To recover my physical and emotional state, to fix financial situation and (the most important) to continue watching the dream channel, after a long pause! So I hope there will be new posts soon!
It is very interesting on how the world and internet had changed in 4 years. Many ideas and technologies that I envisioned and was planning to implement are now created by other people and companies, which makes me very happy, because it means that vision was right. Those ideas came from some information cloud and were really adopted in our physical world which means new ideas will come and we only need to be ready and prepared, to avoid mistakes and enjoy the creation and life.
