I really can’t tell if all the news of the markets emanating from CNN and CNBC as I work is helpful, or deflating… at the very least it reaffirms the situation and if I believe the re-blogged quotes made earlier today, then it should be encouraging, or motivating. I’ll go with that…
Today I am trying to put the “finishing” touches on my financial forecast for zonio. The point is to have a basis for how much I am asking the early investors for… of course I don’t want to ask for too much, but perhaps worse, is not asking for enough. ;-)
I’m also perusing my savings accounts, both retirement and otherwise, to determine where my next tranche of personal investment is going to come from, i.e. how I should pay the bills.
I am also sending out some pings and re-pings to those who may serve to help me bootstrap this opportunity via consulting work.
There are also some re-pings needed for a couple very busy people who may need to see me at the top of their in-boxes again after the long weekend and public distractions of yesterday.
I am also “organizing” my blog properties. Making sure my voice for each one is segmented properly. As it is:
If the start-up activity is successful, the zonio blog project will probably morph gradually into my company’s blog where my community will have seen the start-up process much earlier than is typical for a community-connected company these days. If the start-up takes another route, doesn’t get funded, gets absorbed by another company, etc… the zonio blog project will probably then be “complete” in that the story will have its end.
Either outcome, this blog will prove to be a success in my mind, and it will stand as a unique witness to this odd little professional phase I find myself in.
