Last year was a bit sh1t for me and whilst things are better, there's still some of the left over disappointment and a little anger at the way I was treated. This year I am moving slightly differently and taking stuff as it happens. My testing of the App is going not so well these last two days but went brilliantly the previous two days. Why's that? Well it;s an iterative process and I need to know what works and indeed what doesn't and it doesn't matter if a day goes past without some positive result. A negative result is just as good when you analyse it.
So I cannot do anything about it until tomorrow and that's it. So rather than worry about it like I would have done last year, I am getting on with something that I would normally put off and rather than doing that in an intense way, I am taking my time and taking short breaks in between. Accounts are notoriously difficult for me I really do not enjoy them at all but they need to be done and as I have to do some other work on the figures, why not tackle it and get it done?
I am also prepared now for things to go wrong with the business as well as (if I can work it out) for them to go right. A decision point needs to come in the near future and I am comfortable with either of the outcomes, in fact I'd probably prefer the failure of the business so I can walk away from it once and for all but if there is life in it, I need to see it through and determine that commercially it is (or is not) viable.
But it is no longer the be all and end all, far from it, it's what will be will be and that is the way I am treating such things from now on. I'd far rather be enjoying my time like some of my friends who are retired in going on holidays and trips - they are in sunnier climes and good luck to them. I think that I would prefer to do that with my time but let's see how this short period of market testing goes and we can decide from then.
