Doing the Big "O"

| | Comments (1)

I've been away from blogging for a while, working on a small project I have on the side. So my days have been mostly spent with getting up at 4, coding for 2 hours, working 10-11 hours, then coding for another 2 hours while I have supper and then off to bed.

It's been fun.

But reality sets in eventually, and as it turns out, people are interested in the application I have been writing. So I am going to have real users. This led me to make a decision I have been putting off for some time.

I have learned that you just can't go it alone -- startups are just too much work for one person to do. In addition to continuing to create the technology, somebody has to be as close to the users as possible. Somebody needs to be thinking long-term, and somebody needs to do all of the little stuff, like arrange server space, or teleconferencing tools.

So I decided to outsource. As part of that process, I ran into Martin Olivares.

Martin lives in Cordoba, Argentina. He's got lots of certifications and is familiar with the toolset I am using.

This should be a new experience! I'm interested to see how outsourcing can help a sole-proprietor create a business opportunity. Wish me luck.
