(personal)(entrepreneurship)(oversing)

You know, most of the time I think I’m just as crazy as everyone else seems to think I am. I mean, who would give up everything, go to a foreign country, start a business, spend twice as much on it what you expected, take twice as long as you expected, all but throw away the first code base, change technologies, get in trouble for overstaying and becoming an illegal alien, doing crazy incredibly risky stuff to circumvent being an illegal alien and getting residency, enduring a revolution much which takes place in your neighborhood, enduring unjust near death prosecution by your own government, enduring an invasion by Russia —- all just to follow an entrepreneurial opportunity?

I mean, what kind of crazy person does that? Seriously? I mean, it’s not like I don’t get on the phone and ask my friends, Max in particular, to give me moral support on a regular basis just so that I can make it through the next week without jumping off a bridge. It’s not like I don’t lie in bed thinking ‘what am I doing? I just wanna go home.’

And at the same time I’m working on reforming libertarian and conservative political philosophy, and perhaps solving a problem that’s plagued philosophy for 2500 years.

I mean, what kind of nutcase does that?

What’s the Net? Oversing rocks. First killer business app of the 21st century. 🙂

It might take us three versions to get it out there, but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a hard choice to want to keep Outlook/Exchange/CRM, a lot of users licenses for large accounting systems, and a handful of bolted together apps once we get there. If someone like google was smart enough to buy us it would dramatically alter their strategic position in the market. They have no reason for people to use G+. Oversing would give them that reason to unify their services. But the same is true for a handful of companies.

So, It’s not just vision. It’s persistence, pain tolerance, hard work, and suffering. More of the negatives than most people can imagine bearing. If you aren’t willing to work that hard then you don’t really want the rewards. And furthermore, if you manage to earn those entrepreneurial rewards, then you feel damned justified in keeping them. 🙂

I love my guys and their wives for their dedication. We are getting very close now. Thank you. 🙂
