While i sit in an AirBnb I rented to the month of August (with a failing AC within the Texas Summer) I thought it will be a great time to execute a mental check of start-up life as well as the transition thus far. Always advantageous when you’re sweating from sitting 🙂 Having grown our company significantly the organization side starts to feel “normal.” If that’s possible. My co-founder Marissa would say we’re out from the “storming” phase now to the “normalization” phase of our own fresh. Now i use her Westpoint terminology in my common speech, confusing friends basic terms as Sitrep, bluf and of course MFIC. I’ll allow her to enlighten everyone about the definitions. If you ask me, normalizing the c’s helps us show we have momentum, synergy and our folks (and internal technology) are all aligned as well as the pace is obtaining bigtime. Perfect things.

Once we first launched beta and started collecting feedback, the response was overwhelming from our initial users. “Change this,” “I don’t under this wording here,” “consider adding X,” “is there a roadmap button for that?” (DOH!). To people with tech startup experience I’m sure that’s nothing new. I for one, having only a humble CRE broker’s background, was quite surprised/impressed due to the fact most people are ready to offer you their assist with this mission. What’s the mission again? Help small businesses make smarter lease decisions.

In early stages, I felt compelled to push nearly all our product and assumptions from the pure real estate perspective. I knew we will enhance the prevailing tech in the marketplace, and we’re a commercial real estate product, right? Sure, we’re free and anonymous and many types of that great stuff but we provide a platform which is CRE based to our users. The whole core assumptions and product architecture/functions were steeped within the real estate problem-solving mindset. As we grew together together, we became less dependent on these assumptions and more and more engaged with the feedback from our users and people within the field. This assumption quickly changed, we’re not just a real estate product, we’re a small business product. How did we find that out?

We asked.

Our caboodling team has gone out daily hand-collecting reviews in Houston and I’m humbled by their efforts. They’re helping us seed the platform with real, verified feedback from business decision makers. It’s a vital and foundational objective of ours to gather these experiences. However, I’m pleasantly surprised about the response we’re getting from retailers, tenants, small businesses after they hear our mission, try out the platform and understand what we’re about. It’s normal for caboodlers to invest thirty minutes using one review (which the collection part takes about A minute FYI) since the small company community is merely so hungry to become heard. This is the group that is putting their livelihoods at stake, daily, to generate their business grow along with their personal lives more enriched through their dreams. It’s about damn time someone sat down and followed them.

So that’s what we’ve been doing. Not only coding/testing/building/caboodling and trending hard towards our full release in the following couple weeks (SUPER excited to exhibit everybody) but simply flat out interviewing, listening and gaining knowledge through our core customers. I’ve discovered that even though your products is free of charge doesn’t mean it automatically drops some inherent barrier to entry. Products need to solve down to earth difficulties for down to earth people. This full release I think encompasses that mantra. We will share it soon.

As we grow our company everyone has a part to try out only at Tenavox. Mine is heavily steeped in product, real estate and methodology. That doesn’t mean we don’t wear fifty other hats too, from fundraising (which never stops haha) to data science, startups are best at exposing who you are pressurized. Our company (especially the founders) do whatever it takes to go the ball forward. People inquire about how a transition from CRE to Startup in tech will go, as long as they make the leap too using idea? I smile and enquire of this: Can you handle the load on this deadline, the following sprint, sales projections, recruiting, feedback, testing, adjustments, operations, payroll and a lot far more. When you decide to go for it and build something that matters you become far more responsible. How? Well ideas are pretty much worth nothing, roughly I’ve learned 😉 It’s all within the execution as well as the team…as well as the culture. A robust culture could be the foundation for any strong company.

Turning ideas into reality, together.

When you have a perception, it’s just yours, you’re only responsible for cultivating the ideas themselves. Once you begin a small business (from a perception) you’re responsible for the investors, (usually friends and family and families hard-earned money), you’re responsible for your people, their efforts along with their goals, you’re responsible for your business’s growth, and moving the vision forward daily…most of most you’re responsible for yourself. There is absolutely no automatic paycheck or salary to help you get to get up and hitting that work-day hard, so pick something you have passion for. I reckon that that’s what I’ve learned most. Never underestimate simply how much push the button would be to start a business, never underestimate how difficult some days can be, the load is from the charts as well as the stakes couldn’t be higher. However if you have passion for what you’re doing, if you believe inside your mission and your culture and your team? This is the best damn thing you’ll do the whole life.

Nobody seriously knows where our path may lead. Startups within their very natures are risky ventures. We’ve made educated assumptions and therefore are just beginning to test them out in a live environment, time, our efforts as well as the market will dictate a percentage of our own success. I recognize this, our culture will dictate the way we lead and how we work together as people…and that is something I’m proud of.

I’d personally never knock people who don’t desire to start their particular business, it’s definately not simple and oftentimes personal considerations don’t take. Should you? Talk to your customers, listen and learn. They are going to show you what they need to find out and improve your thinking, in most facet of your products. There exists a new mantra now, “Built for Tenants, with Tenants,” and now we rely on that. I am aware what we’re doing only at Tenavox is the most rewarding professional experience of playing, and that’s worth just of the stress, risk and keenness we’re pouring in it daily. It’s funny, when we started out I wasn’t sure exactly how to border the anguish points of the small company owner…Now? We understand them because we live them. Plus a wise someone once said, “there’s no alternative to experience.”

We had an incredible team building events a week ago in Austin too! As a result of #escapegame #Galvanize and #Laketravis for hosting us!

Stay tuned for more for full release in a couple weeks and thanks for reading my ramblings of course.

Feel free to comment below or require a run at some of the other articles I’ve written chronicling my transition from broker to co-founder.

Because i sit here in an AirBnb I rented to the month of August (which has a failing AC inside the Texas Summer) I figured it will be a great time to do a mental check of start-up life and also the transition thus far. Always good when you’re sweating from sitting 🙂 Having grown our company significantly the business enterprise side of things is starting to feel “normal.” If that’s possible. My co-founder Marissa would say we’re out of the “storming” phase and today into the “normalization” phase individuals 1st year. I now use her Westpoint terminology during my common speech, confusing friends with such terms as Sitrep, bluf as well as MFIC. I’ll permit her to enlighten everybody around the definitions. If you ask me, normalizing the c’s is helping us show we’ve got momentum, synergy and our folks (and internal technology) are aligned and also the pace is obtaining bigtime. All good things.

If we first launched beta and began collecting feedback, the response was overwhelming from my initial users. “Change this,” “I don’t under this wording here,” “consider adding X,” “is there a map button for that?” (DOH!). To those with tech startup experience I’m sure that’s nothing new. I for one, having only a humble CRE broker’s background, was quite surprised/impressed by how so many people are willing to provide you with their benefit this mission. What’s the mission again? Help small business owners make smarter lease decisions.

Early on, I felt compelled to push the vast majority of our developing the site and assumptions from your pure real estate property perspective. I knew we will improve on the present tech in the market, and we’re a commercial real estate property product, right? Sure, we’re free and anonymous and so good stuff but we provide a platform that’s CRE based to your users. Each of our core assumptions and product architecture/functions were steeped inside the real estate property problem-solving mindset. Even as we grew together as a team, we became less and less reliant on these assumptions and more and more engaged by the feedback from my users and people inside the field. This assumption quickly changed, we’re not really a real estate property product, we’re a business product. How did look for that out?

We asked.

Our caboodling team is going daily hand-collecting reviews in Houston and I’m humbled by their efforts. They’re helping us seed system with real, verified feedback from business decision makers. It’s a critical and foundational goal of ours to collect these experiences. However, I’m amazed at the response we’re getting from retailers, tenants, small business owners whenever they hear our mission, test out system and know what we’re about. It’s not unusual for the caboodlers to invest thirty minutes on a single review (that this collection part takes about 60 seconds FYI) since the small business community is just so hungry being heard. This is the group that’s putting their livelihoods on the line, each day, to create their business grow and their personal lives more enriched through their dreams. It’s about damn time someone sat down and listened to them.

So that’s what we’ve been doing. Not simply coding/testing/building/caboodling and trending hard towards our full release here in another few weeks (SUPER excited to exhibit everybody) but all out interviewing, listening and gaining knowledge from our core customers. I’ve learned that even though your product is free doesn’t mean it automatically drops some inherent barrier to entry. Products ought to solve real world problems for real world people. This full release I believe encompasses that mantra. We’re going to share it soon.

Even as we grow our company everyone has a job to try out right here at Tenavox. Mine is heavily steeped in product, real estate property and methodology. That doesn’t mean we don’t wear fifty other hats too, from fundraising (which never stops haha) to data science, startups would be better at exposing who you are being forced. Our team (especially the founders) do whatever it takes to advance the ball forward. People enquire about what sort of transition from CRE to Startup in tech will go, if and when they make the leap too using idea? I smile and enquire of this: Are you able to handle the load of the deadline, another sprint, sales projections, recruiting, feedback, testing, adjustments, operations, payroll and much a lot more. When you choose go for it . and make something matters you in turn become far more responsible. How? Well ideas are pretty much worth nothing, possibly even I’ve learned 😉 It’s all inside the execution and also the team…and also the culture. A powerful culture will be the foundation for a strong company.

Turning ideas into reality, together.

For those who have an idea, it’s just yours, you’re only to blame for cultivating the thoughts themselves. When you start a business (from an idea) you’re to blame for the investors, (usually your mates and families hard-earned money), you’re to blame for your people, their efforts and their goals, you’re to blame for your business’s growth, and moving the vision forward each day…most of all you’re to blame for yourself. There’s no automatic paycheck or salary to acquire up out of bed and hitting that work-day hard, so pick something have passion for. I guess that’s what I’ve learned most. Never underestimate just how much arrange it is to begin a business, never underestimate how difficult at times could be, the load is from the charts and also the stakes couldn’t be higher. However if you simply have passion for what you’re doing, if you think in your mission plus your culture plus your team? Here is the best damn thing you’ll do your whole life.

No one seriously knows where our path may lead. Startups within their very natures are risky ventures. We’ve made educated assumptions and are beginning to test them in the live environment, time, our efforts and also the market will dictate a portion individuals success. I understand this, the west will dictate the way you lead and the way we communicate as people…and that is something I’m proud of.

I would never knock people that don’t wish to start their particular business, it’s far from simple and oftentimes personal considerations don’t so it can have. Should you choose? Confer with your customers, listen and discover. They’ll show you what they need to determine and enhance your thinking, in every single facet of your product. There exists a new mantra now, “Built for Tenants, with Tenants,” so we rely on that. I am aware what we’re doing right here at Tenavox is easily the most rewarding professional experience of playing, and that’s worth equally from the stress, risk and keenness we’re pouring into it each day. It’s funny, when we began I wasn’t sure the best way to frame this points from the small company owner…Now? Problems in later life them because we live them. Along with a wise someone once said, “there’s no alternative to experience.”

We’d an excellent team development last week in Austin too! Due to #escapegame #Galvanize and #Laketravis for hosting us!

Stay tuned for the full release here in 2-3 weeks and thank you for reading my ramblings keep in mind.

As I sit in an AirBnb I rented to the month of August (using a failing AC within the Texas Summer) I thought it might be fun to do a mental check of start-up life as well as the transition up to now. Advantageous when you’re sweating from sitting 🙂 Having grown our company significantly the business enterprise side starts to feel “normal.” If that’s a chance. My co-founder Marissa would say we’re out of the “storming” phase now to the “normalization” phase individuals first year. I now use her Westpoint terminology within my common speech, confusing friends basic terms as Sitrep, bluf and naturally MFIC. I’ll allow her to enlighten all of you on the definitions. In my opinion, normalizing the team is helping us show we’ve got momentum, synergy and our folks (and internal technology) are common aligned as well as the pace is obtaining bigtime. Perfect things.

Once we first launched beta and commenced collecting feedback, the response was overwhelming from the initial users. “Change this,” “I don’t under this wording here,” “consider adding X,” “is there a guide button to the?” (DOH!). To those with tech startup experience I’m sure that’s nothing new. I for starters, having only a humble CRE broker’s background, was quite surprised/impressed by how most people are prepared to offer you their assistance with this mission. What’s the mission again? Help small enterprises make smarter lease decisions.

Ahead of time, I felt compelled to push almost all our product development and assumptions from the pure real-estate perspective. I knew we might strengthen the current tech in the industry, and we’re an advert real-estate product, right? Sure, we’re free and anonymous and all sorts of so good stuff but we provide a platform that is CRE based to the users. Our core assumptions and product architecture/functions were steeped within the real-estate problem-solving mindset. Even as grew together together, we became much less dependent on these assumptions plus more plus more engaged by the feedback from the users and people within the field. This assumption quickly changed, we’re not really a real-estate product, we’re a company product. How did find that out?

We asked.

Our caboodling team is going daily hand-collecting reviews in Houston and I’m humbled by their efforts. They’re helping us seed the working platform with real, verified feedback from business decision makers. It’s a critical and foundational objective of ours to gather these experiences. However, I’m surprised about the response we’re getting from retailers, tenants, small enterprises whenever they hear our mission, check out the working platform and determine what we’re exactly about. It’s quite normal for your caboodlers to invest a half-hour on one review (that your collection part takes about One minute FYI) for the reason that business community is just so hungry to get heard. This can be a group who’s putting their livelihoods at risk, each day, to create their business grow as well as their personal lives more enriched through their dreams. It’s about damn time someone sat down and followed them.

So that’s what we’ve been doing. Not just coding/testing/building/caboodling and trending hard towards our full release in the following couple weeks (SUPER excited to show everybody) but simply plain interviewing, listening and studying under our core customers. I’ve found out that even though your products is provided for free doesn’t mean it automatically drops some inherent barrier to entry. Products need to solve real-world difficulties for real-world people. This full release I do believe encompasses that mantra. We are going to share it soon.

Even as grow our company you have a part to play here at Tenavox. Mine is heavily steeped in product, real-estate and methodology. That doesn’t mean we don’t wear fifty other hats too, from fundraising (which never stops haha) to data science, startups would be best at exposing your identiity pressurized. All of us (and also the founders) do whatever it takes to move the ball forward. People ask about how the transition from CRE to Startup in tech is certainly going, if and when they dive right in too with their idea? I smile and ask this: Are you able to handle the stress of the deadline, the following sprint, sales projections, recruiting, feedback, testing, adjustments, operations, payroll and far a lot more. When you elect go for it . and build something matters you then become a great deal more responsible. How? Well ideas are virtually worth nothing, roughly I’ve learned 😉 It’s all within the execution as well as the team…as well as the culture. A strong culture could be the foundation for the strong company.

Turning ideas into reality, together.

When you’ve got a perception, it’s just yours, you’re only accountable for cultivating the thoughts themselves.

There is no automatic paycheck or salary to get you off the bed and hitting that work-day hard, so pick something have love for. I guess that’s what I’ve learned most. Never underestimate simply how much push the button would be to begin a business, never underestimate how difficult some days could be, the stress is off the charts as well as the stakes couldn’t be higher. However if you simply have love for what you’re doing, if you feel in your mission and your culture and your team? This is the best damn thing you’ll do the whole life.

No-one seriously knows where our path may lead. Startups inside their very natures are risky ventures. We’ve made educated assumptions and therefore are just beginning to test them out in a live environment, time, our efforts as well as the market will dictate a portion individuals success. I recognize this, the west will dictate the way you lead and just how we come together as people…that is certainly something I’m happy with.

I’d never knock those that don’t want to start their own business, it’s faraway from easy and oftentimes personal considerations don’t so it can gain. Should you choose? Speak with your customers, listen and learn. They’ll tell you what they need to determine and boost your thinking, in each and every facet of your products. There exists a new mantra now, “Built for Tenants, with Tenants,” and that we rely on that. I understand what we’re doing here at Tenavox is regarded as the rewarding professional experience of my well being, and that’s worth just with the stress, risk and passion we’re pouring involved with it each day.

There were an incredible team building last weekend in Austin too! As a result of #escapegame #Galvanize and #Laketravis for hosting us!

While i sit throughout an AirBnb I rented for the month of August (which has a failing AC inside the Texas Summer) I believed it will be a good time to execute a mental check of start-up life as well as the transition to date. Always good when you’re sweating from sitting 🙂 Having grown we significantly the business enterprise aspect starts to feel “normal.” If that’s plausible. My co-founder Marissa would say we’re out of the “storming” phase and now in to the “normalization” phase of our first year. Now i use her Westpoint terminology in my common speech, confusing friends by using these terms as Sitrep, bluf not to mention MFIC. I’ll let her enlighten everybody about the definitions. In my experience, normalizing they helps us show we now have momentum, synergy and our folks (and internal technology) are typical aligned as well as the pace is buying bigtime. Perfect things.

Whenever we first launched beta and started collecting feedback, the response was overwhelming from the initial users. “Change this,” “I don’t under this wording here,” “consider adding X,” “is there a guide button to the?” (DOH!). To the people with tech startup experience I’m sure that’s not new. I for just one, having just a humble CRE broker’s background, was quite surprised/impressed due to the fact so many people are willing to present you with their assist with this mission. What’s the mission again? Help smaller businesses make better lease decisions.

Early on, I felt compelled to push most our product development and assumptions from a pure real estate perspective. I knew we’re able to enhance the prevailing tech on the market, and we’re an advertisement real estate product, right? Sure, we’re free and anonymous and a good stuff but our company offers a platform that is certainly CRE based to our users. Each of our core assumptions and product architecture/functions were steeped inside the real estate problem-solving mindset.

It’s about damn time someone sat down and listened to them.

So that’s what we’ve been doing. Not only coding/testing/building/caboodling and trending hard towards our full release throughout the next month or so (SUPER excited to indicate everybody) but simply flat out interviewing, listening and gaining knowledge from our core customers. I’ve learned that even though your product or service costs nothing doesn’t mean it automatically drops some inherent barrier to entry. Products ought to solve real-world difficulties for real-world people. This full release I think encompasses that mantra. We will share it soon.

Once we grow we you have a job to try out only at Tenavox. Mine is heavily steeped in product, real estate and methodology. That doesn’t mean we don’t wear fifty other hats too, from fundraising (which never stops haha) to data science, startups might be best at exposing who you are pressurized. We (and especially the founders) do whatever needs doing to go the ball forward. People question what sort of transition from CRE to Startup in tech goes, if and when they take the plunge too with their idea? I smile and enquire of this: Could you handle the worries of this deadline, the next sprint, sales projections, recruiting, feedback, testing, adjustments, operations, payroll and far far more. When you choose to go for it and build something that matters you become much more responsible. How? Well ideas are pretty much worth nothing, or so I’ve learned 😉 It’s all inside the execution as well as the team…as well as the culture. A powerful culture will be the foundation for a strong company.

Turning ideas into reality, together.

When you have a thought, it’s just yours, you’re only in charge of cultivating the minds themselves. Once you begin a business (from a thought) you’re in charge of the investors, (usually your friends and families hard-earned money), you’re in charge of your people, their efforts as well as their goals, you’re in charge of your business’s growth, and moving the vision forward every day…most of you’re in charge of yourself. There’s no automatic paycheck or salary to get you to get up and hitting that work-day hard, so pick something have passion for. I assume that’s what I’ve learned most. Never underestimate the amount arrange it is always to start up a business, never underestimate how difficult at times may be, the worries is over charts as well as the stakes couldn’t be higher. However if you have passion for what you’re doing, if you think in your mission and your culture and your team? This is actually the best damn thing you’ll do the whole life.

No one seriously knows where our path may lead. Startups of their very natures are risky ventures. We’ve made educated assumptions and therefore are just starting to test them in the live environment, time, our efforts as well as the market will dictate a portion of our success. I do know this, our culture will dictate the way we lead and how we come together as people…which is something I’m satisfied with.

I’d personally never knock those that don’t wish to start their own business, it’s not even close to simple and easy , oftentimes personal considerations don’t so it can have. If you do? Speak to your customers, listen and discover. They’re going to inform you what they desire to determine and improve your thinking, in most part of your product or service. You will find a new mantra now, “Built for Tenants, with Tenants,” and that we have confidence in that. I understand what we’re doing only at Tenavox is regarded as the rewarding professional experience with playing, and that’s worth equally from the stress, risk and fervour we’re pouring into it every day. It’s funny, if we started out I wasn’t sure the best way to frame the pain sensation points from the small business owner…Now? Problems in later life them because we live them. Along with a wise someone once said, “there’s no replacement experience.”

There was an excellent team building events a week ago in Austin too! Thanks to #escapegame #Galvanize and #Laketravis for hosting us!

Stay tuned in for our full release throughout two to three weeks and thanks for reading my ramblings keep in mind.

Go ahead and comment below or please take a run at a number of the other articles I’ve written chronicling my transition from broker to co-founder.

Have something to say meantime? Struck me through to LinkedIn or [email protected]

As I sit in an AirBnb I rented for your month of August (which has a failing AC inside the Texas Summer) I figured it will be a great time to execute a mental check of start-up life and the transition to date. Always advantageous when you’re sweating from sitting 🙂 Having grown our team significantly the company side of things starts to feel “normal.” If that’s possible. My co-founder Marissa would say we’re from the “storming” phase and today to the “normalization” phase in our first year. Now i use her Westpoint terminology during my common speech, confusing friends by using these terms as Sitrep, bluf and naturally MFIC. I’ll let her enlighten everybody around the definitions. To me, normalizing they helps us show we now have momentum, synergy and our folks (and internal technology) are aligned and the pace is collecting bigtime. Perfect things.

If we first launched beta and commenced collecting feedback, the response was overwhelming from our initial users. “Change this,” “I don’t under this wording here,” “consider adding X,” “is there a guide button for your?” (DOH!). To prospects with tech startup experience I’m sure that’s not new. I for just one, having just a humble CRE broker’s background, was quite surprised/impressed due to the fact many people are happy to give you their assist with this mission. What’s the mission again? Help small enterprises make better lease decisions.

Ahead of time, I felt compelled to push nearly all our website and assumptions from your pure real estate property perspective. I knew we could strengthen the prevailing tech in the marketplace, and we’re an advertisement real estate property product, right? Sure, we’re free and anonymous and that good stuff but our company offers a platform which is CRE based to your users. Our core assumptions and product architecture/functions were steeped inside the real estate property problem-solving mindset. Once we grew together as a team, we became less and less just a few these assumptions plus more plus more engaged through the feedback from our users and folks inside the field. This assumption quickly changed, we’re not only a real estate property product, we’re an enterprise product. How did we find that out?

We asked.

Our caboodling team has gone out daily hand-collecting reviews in Houston and I’m humbled by their efforts. They’re helping us seed the platform with real, verified feedback from business decision makers. It’s a crucial and foundational purpose of ours to get these experiences. However, I’m impressed by the response we’re getting from retailers, tenants, small enterprises whenever they hear our mission, test out the platform and know what we’re exactly about. It’s normal for our caboodlers to invest a half-hour on a single review (which the collection part takes about 60 seconds FYI) as the small enterprise community is merely so hungry to get heard. This is a group that’s putting their livelihoods at risk, every single day, to generate their business grow along with their personal lives more enriched through their dreams. It’s about damn time someone sat down and followed them.

So that’s what we’ve been doing. Not simply coding/testing/building/caboodling and trending hard towards our full release in the following few weeks (SUPER excited to demonstrate everybody) but just plain interviewing, listening and gaining knowledge from our core customers. I’ve found out that simply because your products or services is provided for free doesn’t mean it automatically drops some inherent barrier to entry. Products have to solve real world damage to real world people. This full release I do think encompasses that mantra. We will share it soon.

Once we grow our team all of us have a role to learn here at Tenavox. Mine is heavily steeped in product, real estate property and methodology. That doesn’t mean we don’t wear fifty other hats too, from fundraising (which never stops haha) to data science, startups would be better at exposing what you are under pressure. All of us (especially the founders) do whatever needs doing to maneuver the ball forward. People ask about the way the transition from CRE to Startup in tech is going, whenever they dive right in too using idea? I smile and enquire of this: Are you able to handle the strain with this deadline, the following sprint, sales projections, recruiting, feedback, testing, adjustments, operations, payroll and far much more. When you elect to go for it and make something matters you feel a lot more responsible. How? Well ideas are just about worth nothing, roughly I’ve learned 😉 It’s all inside the execution and the team…and the culture. A robust culture may be the foundation for the strong company.

Turning ideas into reality, together.

When you’ve got an idea, it’s just yours, you’re only to blame for cultivating the minds themselves. Once you start an enterprise (from an idea) you’re to blame for the investors, (usually your pals and families hard-earned money), you’re to blame for your people, their efforts along with their goals, you’re to blame for your business’s growth, and moving the vision forward every single day…but most of most you’re to blame for yourself. There is absolutely no automatic paycheck or salary to acquire up out of bed and hitting that work-day hard, so pick something you have adoration for. I guess that’s what I’ve learned most. Never underestimate just how much work it is to start a business, never underestimate how difficult at times could be, the strain is off of the charts and the stakes couldn’t be higher. However if you simply have adoration for what you’re doing, if you believe in your mission as well as your culture as well as your team? This is actually the best damn thing you’ll do your entire life.

No person seriously knows where our path may lead. Startups of their very natures are risky ventures. We’ve made educated assumptions and they are beginning to test them out . inside a live environment, time, our efforts and the market will dictate some in our success. I do know this, our culture will dictate how we lead and how we communicate as people…and that’s something I’m satisfied with.

I’d personally never knock those that don’t need to start their particular business, it’s definately not simple and easy , oftentimes personal considerations don’t allow it. If you undertake? Talk to your customers, listen and learn. They will inform you what they want to determine and increase your thinking, in every element of your products or services. You will find a new mantra now, “Built for Tenants, with Tenants,” and now we rely on that. I know what we’re doing here at Tenavox is the most rewarding professional connection with my life, and that’s worth equally of the stress, risk and keenness we’re pouring involved with it every single day. It’s funny, when we started off I wasn’t sure the best way to border the pain points of the private business owner…Now? Problems in later life them because we live them. As well as a wise someone once said, “there’s no substitute for experience.”

We’d an excellent team development last weekend in Austin too! Thanks to #escapegame #Galvanize and #Laketravis for hosting us!

Stay tuned for our full release in a couple weeks and thanks for reading my ramblings of course.
