Day 4

OK, day 4 was yesterday. It started out slow - we had to wrestle with internet connections here at the Stables office. We had the wrong wireless WAP code, and the hub and router we tried both failed to split the wall ethernet to our two laptops.

But after driving around in search of the el cheapo taco place, finally finding it, and getting twelve tacos for $6, we actually had a very productive afternoon. The total change in plan I made on day 3 also completely tore up our profit model - selling each time trail we come up with, or selling packages of them. So we were sitting around, re-reading Kawasaki about getting the business model right, and Ben came up with a breakthrough idea, which we are tentatively calling TimeSails (sailing thru history...) - a way to really leverage the focus and get people connected to stuff they want. Good guy ads. Anyway, that idea made the day a success.

We are room 11. It says so on our door.

Also, I should mention that I have a personal goal of a minimum of two hours billable consulting work every day. That's how I make ends meet, and with this business idea taking most of my time, the family finances are in a shambles. So far, I've been able to do that. It's a small goal in the larger picture, but it keeps the idea alive.
