I am NOT John Galt but Ayn Rand would still like me. |
In this span of about three weeks I have learned a
little about myself. I am not super
human. I need sleep and food like
everyone else. I also learned that I
need to push myself harder than I have in the past because if I am going to
break through the clutter of what people are selling I need to make an
impression.
This is the month; I joined the chamber of commerce in my community. I walked into their office
and showed off my Sully® product and they asked me to join right away. I am pretty proud of that because there is usually
a vetting process. In addition, I have a
big trade show this week and I want to close at least one client before the New
Year. It is pretty exciting.
Many people ask me what I am selling, let me try to
explain. I have noticed for the last few
years that many small and medium sized businesses are keeping track of
invoices, bills of lading, and packing slips with plain paper and pencil. Inventory is often managed with index cards
or excel spreadsheets; no one had authored a set of tools which could do inventory
and warehouse management. This was a
problem begging for a cloud based solution.
Over the last year, I began to write a web application which
would work on smart phones, tablet computers and standard web browsers. I called it Sully® to give it a little blue
collar credibility. Just over a year
later I have a working piece of software and I am starting the sales
process. Ayn Rand would be very proud of me. Like many cloud based applications it
is low cost because I didn’t think a business should have to pay a lot of money
to have a 21st century inventory management system. It is a dream come true but the reality is this
is only the beginning. Now I have to
sell my creation.
I will do my best to keep you posted and up to date on my
progress.
