Nothing + 1...

I was hoping to provide readers all over the globe a daily recount of my trials and tribulations while being an entrepreneur, that is, while running a start-up: money out, nothing in. I recall some guy did this for Red Herring magazine before 9/11 but he got paid and then one day stopped. Maybe he sold it; maybe he ran out of cash (I don't have any yet so no worries there). The reasons I won't do this daily are (a) it's a terrible chore, even for a guy who loves to write and (b) it's terribly boring for those poor souls who have to read this damn thing. Besides myself and my mom, no one should care about what I did each day - and even her I'm not so sure about...

Given it's the last day of the first month in the life of my first start-up, perhaps a summary of accomplishments is in order: the "edutainment" team of Better Indeed LLC is now in place (a designer, a psychologist, a lawyer, a fixer, and me); the Business Plan is written; the Marketing Plan is together if only in draft form; the Agreements with each team member is written and now being reviewed by their lawyers; the initial sketches for our first board game have been shared/approved; the preliminary instructions have been written; and that's about all. So this is where my time has gone. Ahead of me still are too many things to mention: don't want to foreshadow; don't want to write it out because it might make me change my mind. Now back to work...
