This week was full of ups and downs. We had a discussion with Rosa, Boon Chow, Ann Chai, Kwai — the big guns. On how our project and product can be approached better.
I came from a background where, whenever i was handed a suggestion, I would find ways to harmonise all of them, into one compact solution. In this case, it was hard to. Every opinion would lead to contradictions and i had to make the final call, this stressed me out because there was lots to do and lots to think about.
The goal now is to formulate a pitch and a business model that made sense, and feel exciting for future investors. This scares me to bits. There is only so much time left, and we have to work faster. I am a perfectionist, and its in my nature to want to deliver the perfect pitch. But there is no such thing as a perfect pitch.
Being incredibly stressed out in coordinating research and development, and trying to craft this, i needed a step back. I went radio silence over the weekend and just focused on what i wanted to do. No work over 2 days.
This was when i chanced upon a documentary of Amazon and Jeff Bezos. Where he started small, as a book keeping company. The problem that was identified then, wasn’t the biggest game changing problem in the world, but it very soon came to be one of the most valuable problem.
I need to embody our project and our company — Enso. Take a step back, and focus on just one problem. No matter how small it is now, and no matter how insignificant others might make it out to be. Naysayers a plenty’. Big things start small.
Lets get to work.
