I’ve been working Ball’s to the Wall. The past three months have been very busy for SecurityLab. Its been both a blessing and dear I say, curse? Curse is probably too strong a word. We have been busy working and that’s great because we have some money and don’t have to go crawling to VC’s and Angels which I’d rather avoid for as long as humanly possible. But the work has been consulting work, we haven’t begun selling products. And I want us to be a products company. The catch is you can’t build a product with no money. Being so busy I’ve had no time to do fundamental business planning and management, this is frustrating me.

We are at a point where we need additional employees but I wouldn’t be able to guarentee that we could afford them one year from now. So what do you do? Everything! Luckily my first clients have been very understanding of our growing pains. I haven’t been so easy on myself. When it comes to product development I still have the mentality that everything has to be perfect when at this phase the reality is things just need to work! I have to keep having conversations with my advisors and fellow entrepeneurs to keep me focused on what’s important. Especially when things get so hectic. Its been crazy, but this is what I signed up for.
