The push for revenue from our advertisement stream has commenced. Preparing our income statement to handle the payment structure for our graduating interns from Duquesne University is the main reason... but the slogan that is catching on like wild fire around the office is "Palzy needs fed."
A few things need to be in place before we launch the all out campaign, like the final steps to our new Novell integration.
Decisions on directions may happen at 2:30 in the morning...but implementation can take at least 6 months.
I compare it to something I heard awhile back...
Our head of programming, an avid pilot too, once explained the transition from propeller planes to jet planes to me.
He said it all comes down to how much time you have to react to something. In a jet plane, you must know what exact move you are going to make a step before you actually get there. Obviously, the faster you get going, the more powerful the plane = the further you must look into the future of where to go and decisions to make.
In the business world, this too can be applied, but it is a hard lesson to learn. Start-ups change directions very, very quickly. However, there comes a time when you realize you are leagues ahead of where you were years ago when we were flying our "propeller plane". Our product keeps taking stronger, faster, and more powerful forms (from outside and from inside). We may not have our Jet Pilots license just yet...but we sure are close.
