Hello and welcome to my new blog!
Last week after much debate (with myself), I decided I want to have another go at starting an Internet company. This decision came much to my parents’ horror, who were probably hoping I was done with the whole “I want to be an entrepreneur” phase after I left ClickUni - a start-up which I co-founded along with David Langer and Andy Young while doing my BA at Oxford. Convincing my parents, who after all are putting a roof over my head and keeping me fed and watered that this is the right decision was not easy, but it did help me to convince myself that I had thought things through. To be honest I am still only about 75% sure that this what I want to do, but given my somewhat indecisive nature, I think 25% in any direction is pretty promising!
So what has motivated me to blog about this journey I am about to embark on? Well I wanted to share my personal take on starting a company and making it successful, from coming up with the “killer idea” all the way through to launching the product/service and beyond. From my previous experience with ClickUni I know that there are going to be lots of decisions to make and challenges to face along the way and I’m hoping that by blogging regularly I can share my experiences in a way that will be useful to anyone else on the same path or just entertain those that would have known better! I’m also a strong believer in the old adage “A problem shared is a problem halved” so blogging should help me clarify my problems and find some solutions - with your help of course.
Now, I just need to come up with an idea… While I start thinking, you can enjoy watching this amusing video of Bill Gates on his last day at work which I have included purely because I really wanted to have a video in my first post. You are only truly successful when you are friends with Bono.
