Wow, its Thursday already. A week of water, rain..sloshing through Old Town Alexandria on foot, 7 hour Sunday night drives from NJ in the driving rain - 12+ inches in 5 days.

But what a week, we got our venture capital finally yesterday, they valued the company at $3.5 million, quite incredible given that the revenues for the year to May 31st were $120,000. In one month we have more than tripled the weighted sales pipeline, and ae still going strong this week.

We also recruited this week a very strong generalist to cover a few holes that we need filling, including the role for me of marketing/account executive to start creating more aggressive initial campaigns by farming leads through the web to drive into the sales pipeline even further. I'll guide him where we want to go and then let him loose on google and email..picking up when the leads are something we can move forward. Leaving me free to concentrate on moving those sales to close and billed revenue. I can see needed another account executive shortly. If Tanya and I between us can generate back to back meetings all week, another body focused entirely on lead production, I might need to clone myself ;-)

Talking of those back to back meetings, I'm now at Dupont Metro, so better get and go start them.

Ya know how this ends, dontcha ?

WHAT A GREAT LIFE !! :-)

Comments... I find the quotes and your spiritual journey the most intriguing and the most personal... opening I think another side of Andrew. It is like looking into ones essence...who you are, or who you strive to be, not what life has made you.. like looking at the man beneath the silly string, radiating calm, behind kind eyes, and feeling One with all.

A comment, on a lighter note...I loved the day that you just listened and were speechless. :-)
