So get this. Hella people aka all the exec from spn got my yesterday's blog through email. it turns out there was automated email list and sent it out to all of them. I found out this morning when Katy emailed telling me to keep it up and motivating me. I was so shocked! I really did not mean it for people to see it yet alone sent out on mass email. I was so so embarrassed. I was telling Ilan about it this morning and he says "Chi what do you expect? blog is for public!"
So I deleted some stuff that I did not want to go out even though it already did. My hope was that since it is long people would just ignore it.
I made connection with Bob Cimmins and John Sechrest via Facebook and Linkedin. I woke up at 645am and started my work out by 710am. It's so late because I have to get out of there by 8am otherwise I get charged for parking. So this time I hella pushed on my work and no break. It was not bad because I still felt the sore feeling in my arms.
I really wanted to snowboarding with ex painters and Miguel tomorrow but it's not gonna happen because I got shit to prepare for before the Sack of Seattle Coffee on Tuesday.
David and I have some pretty serious conversation. I saw the direction of conversation going why we cannot rather then why we can. So I talked back and David says "You are just trying to ignore important issue!" and I agreed with him so I talked back to him with questions of 'so what can we do about this?"
Main issue was what was written on terms of agreement on these sites that we are trying to work with. However, it did not strictly say no, just have to ask permission so we tabled it where we will build our product up as much as we can. Talk to smart people on Tuesday and Wednesday and figure it out from there.
We have been thinking about our final vision so much that we were quite burdened, stressed and bit pessimistic. After giving some thoughts, we went outside to take a break. We talked about the scale and that we are thinking it out to be too big. let's take a one step at a time approach. Which site is the most approachable and doable. well craigslist...
Then I looked more in details into how these companies handle different approach for sellers and made the business plan according to that.
i am going to bring out all details plan when I meet with John and Bob face to face. However that is not until 14th. Which means, I must work my way into talking to Andy Sack face to face on Tuesday because I do not want to share this with other people.
I just talked to Katy about her team and how she can focus her team on scheduling estimates rather than generating leads. I hope our talk was helpful and that she leads her people to generate tangible results.
I must say my 3rd year as an exec spring time was fun. I had some serious selling results in the beginning and was pumped. I want to have that feeling again, it just seems quite far from now.
I want to be happy every day all day. For the most part is good. Some sections of the day is really tough and miserable. I really wish that few months from now, I can look back at this blog and smile about it.

I'm glad you took us back a step so we could focus on reachable goals. Keeping the big picture in mind is important, but I feel that we are on a more realistic track now. Great job getting us that discount for startup weekend! It is progress like this that gets me excited. I appreciate all you do to "pump me up." I know I need to reciprocate. I think we can get a lot of work done on the UW campus tomorrow. It will be nice to tap into some of that collective consciousness. Lets tackle what our major selling points are tomorrow.
