Hey Guys,
I know I’ve been away for a while – multitasking seemed to
slip me by on my blog.. aah not good I know!
This year things have been busy, I Started a new job as a Business
Architect at one of NZ’s largest Telco’s. I can be honest and say that I have
devoted my time to being the best I can in the role – where change happens on a
day to day basis.. literally!
But I can say that I enjoy the role so much, being able to
aid the business with solutions and business transformation is a joy.
I’ll sum the last couple of months up for everyone real
quickly below;
Work- Career:
New Role, dedication to the groups
success.
Property
Investing: Leveraging knowledge for success.
Friendship:
Gaining some great mates, by investing time in them!
Helping:
Helping everyone I meet so that they can take their first step, investing,
business, career *Good TIMES*
Business -
EyeGratify: Gaining momentum
Family:
Building a great one, and enjoying the current family I have J
Travel:
Phuket and Bangkok look out!
Lets get onto what this blog is about!
When I first started writing this blog it was all to help
people that are in similar situation as me. I was and still am an employee for
one company – and I am a Director of another, does this mean I have succeeded
in the transformation from Employee
to being a Business Success – like I
wanted? NO.
I was going to write about how it is hard to move from one
space to another… but I won’t – I’ll keep this positive and voice how I think
ill carve the path to success quickly for my Business ( I would love your
feedback)
Currently The EyeGratify team is working on the recognition *it’s
the hardest part of our product* this bread and butter recognition is going
through different test iterations to show the limits of the tool currently and
highlight the work needed to have success at scale.
The path forward once holidays have completed – will be to
knuckle down the most basic functionality – and increase the smarts behind our algorithm
and matching filters.. just saying that is a task in its self!
I am determined to get the ball rolling with this – more time
with my Co-Founder and Lead Dev and more time feeling the market!
- 5 May 13 – First meeting
- Weekly Sprints
- More Photoshop use cases
- What are your thoughts?
I would also like to look at another option for our software
to run… That would be to explore the use of TV applications, an application
that runs over the top of normal TV viewing
o Why - because the world is moving to leaving your
phone in your pocket, Google Glass is a good example. Its good to keep innovation
moving and additional markets to target.
Some Value for the
Readers!
Ideas are great! Chase them and validate your ideas thoroughly
and quickly before investing any money.
-
Validation is scary, but its worth pivoting or
dropping your idea than spending money on it to only realise later, that your
in the wrong market or worse.. your product is not needed.
