Hello everyone. I set this site up a couple of days ago because of a suggestion of a person I met during a business meeting. I was not sure how to begin. what I should talk about, or even what I felt someone would be interested in reading. A sort of writers block before I actually had a subject. I've always found writing about nothing easy to do, but when writing for a website about yourself, it made me think of all these things. It caused me to possibly over think.
So now I just decided to start. Start from the beginning of my thought. If you somehow landed here I want to invite you to give me feedback about anything you read on this blog. From time to time, I will ask questions, ask for suggestions, and ask your honest opinions.
I wanted to start this now because i'm currently at a pivotal point in my life. I have a lot of things going on (thanks to the people that have supported me) and I want to chronicle my lessons learned and ideas created.
Most of my life I have always thought of myself as as entrepreneur. Starting when I was 11 I started the typical pet sitting business, racked leaves, mowed lawns, and tried my hand at being a hip hop artist. For years I have had this yearning drive to start something on my own and create something big out of it. Now that I'm 35 years old, married, a business owner, I have the yearning to start again with something new. Ruby on Rails! I've done PHP and the typical HTML web development and design projects, but my new business venture is calling for me to get really involved in coding backend applications. Scalability is definitively the key at this point and from the research that I have done, and the meeting I had with a local Baltimore entrepreneur, its really the only way I feel that I will get this business developed. Its the challenge that I like, its what drives me. The fighting with my back against the wall is the way I have been able to really create great things in my life.
I ask that anyone and everyone go on this journey with me as I start day one of coding and developing this project. I will try my best to keep this blog updated with my latest ventures and my latest pitfalls as I create from scratch something that I feel will be my greatest creation (with the exception of my children) yet!!
