I was thinking the other day about how I started this company. I dug into some of my backups and found the very first business plan: A Mobile Software company with some (pretty unique and) interesting ideas.

Three years have past since I created that business plan. And time made those ideas fade out. But you know what? A short google search showed me that no one has thought about it yet. Or maybe there isn’t a market for the kind of mobile application I was trying to build. Or maybe… people just aren’t interested, who knows?

All in all, it’s all about connecting the dots (how Steve Jobs likes to say). I couldn’t connect the dots then, nor can I completely do that now. But there’s a few things I know for sure:

1. Being an entrepreneur has thought me a lot about … life
2. Life ain’t pink
3. The “biggest” people on this planet were not afraid of failure
4. It’s not good to always be a YES person
5. Having vision and strategy makes the difference

We wish you a brainy new year!
