It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged and since I’ve informed people about what’s going on with WhyGoSolo.  It’s been a turbulent and hectic time to say the least.

It started with me underestimating what having a full time job and running WhyGoSolo would be like. Heck, it started with me underestimating what having a “regular” job would be like again. After three years of working for myself – getting back into a structured routine turned out to be morally, physically and emotionally draining. It has nothing to do with the work I do or the people I work with…it has everything to do with wanting to maintain the entrepreneurial lifestyle and not being able to live it the same way anymore.

But after 5 weeks…I’m getting better at balancing the two and understanding how to manage my expectations and time.

Prior to taking on my billet back in the Marine Corps I wrote a blog post about Business is a Team Sport.  In the post, I emphasized how important it was to have a team that takes part of carrying the torch and keeping things moving.  I stand by that statement however, I want add to it.  What happened is that I hadn’t realized who my true shinning stars on the team would turn out to be.  

The CTO for WhyGoSolo resigned shortly after I went back into the Marine Corps and since his resignation one key member of the team has really stepped up and is making big things happen.  His hard work is motivating the heck out of me, truly re-energizing me and kicking me back into action. It happens to be the youngest member of our team: Darcy Laycock.  The kid is brilliant and the hero of the story right now.

So On To The Updates:

We are growing the team:  We are adding a new sales person.  Her name is Nicole and she is joining us to be part of the next step for WhyGoSolo.  I’m really happy to have Nicole join us.  I suspect I’ll be learning a lot from her.

Also, a few old (as in former) faces are going to be making come backs over the next couple of months which is something that means a lot to all of us who are still together, to have old friends join back.

Next Release: We have a new release planned for the beginning of July. The new release is the next step and future of WhyGoSolo.  The new release is actually not an addition to WhyGoSolo but a new application that will tie into WhyGoSolo.

We’re looking for some UI work (anyone interested??) to ensure we make our deadline. I’m excited to finally be moving in this new direction...which I'll talk about in a few weeks.

The new release will have quite a few other releases following it. So although we’ve been real quiet and been through some hard times; we’re back on track and pursuing our goals.

Do keep an eye on what we’re up to!!
