Have you ever wanted to do something so badly and so well, that you researched, prepared, guessed and second-guessed yourself into a state of paralysis? That is where I have existed with this site for quite some time now.
Countless ideas on how I could turn my small net rest stop into the next million dollar dream. Equally as many books and articles read on the latest technologies which would allow me to deploy the next killer app and take over the world.
So, a few years into the experiment and not only has my site NOT taken over the world and made me a household name; but pitifully, even I would have to admit that the current amount of “content” I have compiled is a little lacking…
What went wrong? The only real utility which I have really gotten out of the site are the email services and as a test bed for the myriad of development projects which I have been involved in over the years.
But that’s ok… I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it… People like me! Seriously, I had to come to grips with the fact that it is what it is. This probably is not the proper location or platform from which to launch my empire. But as a developer, I know I can do a lot better than “Under construction.”
Now… Where do we start? J
Seems to me you have to start from everything else that is out of order. If you have other areas in your life that are not as YOU think they should be figure those out and I am sure you will have more than enough “content”. You are not alone in a your dream deferred.. know that.
Interestingly, I have been hearing a lot of the “it’s considered a failure if you don’t try” mantra. I’m beginning to believe that someone is trying to tell us all something here. I believe that if you begin and believe in what you are doing, the rest will come easy. Congrats on your venture and always remember to keep God first.
