I was listening to my MP3 collection, and heard one of the theme songs from Aladdin. Its lyrics at the end of the song personify the life of an entrepreneur:
One jump, ahead of the hoofbeats,
One hop, ahead of the hump,
One trick, ahead of disaster,
They’re quick, but I’m much faster!
Here goes,
Better throw my hand in,
Wish me happy landing,
All I’ve gotta do is juuuuuuuump!
Here’s the audio:
I always buy a pumpkin around Halloween to keep, uncarved, until it dies. They’re festive and can really brighten up a room.
This year’s pumpkin lasted for about four months.
Rest In Peace, 2006-2007 Pumpkin. (Maybe next year I’ll name it something more creative than by year!)
My name is Adam Smith, and I am the author of this blog. (As a side note, I don’t see why I should be the only author of this blog. Perhaps I should host guest authors at times.)
Xobni Man Walking is about my experiences as an entrepreneur and software developer. Xobni is a year-old startup focused on organizing your personal information, centered around email. We have a company blog.
Xobni only had two people until recently, so it made sense to put all of our thoughts on the company blog. As Xobni grows, so does the difference between ‘I’ and ‘we.’ Enter individual blogs.
This particular blog is going to discuss growing a company and growing a software product. Growing a company is really something you do so you can grow a product, but it’s such a daunting task that I think it deserves its own bullet in the agenda.
Of course, growing a product could also be seen as something you do in order to grow a company. (This is where a picture of a ying-yang would go.)
