Questions

“Josh, what in the world do you do all day?”
“I wish I worked for myself.”
“So what exactly are you guys creating?”
These are some of the questions that I get on a daily basis. Friends are often jealous of the fact that I took the plunge to “work” for myself. It doesn’t “feel” like work to me. Some people say that is because we’re a startup and haven’t made a dollar yet. That may be partly true. However, the key I’ve found; is it’s hard to feel like it’s work when it’s something you’re passionate about.
One of the easiest pitches we’ll ever have to make is the fact that we officiate and we’re building a tool that we will use. Which means we won’t ever get complacent about improving and adding to this web application!
It is fun working for yourself. However, it’s also challenging because the main focus is generating that revenue instead of waiting for a paycheck every two weeks. I actually see myself as extremely lucky. I get to work with some of my best friends and build a product that is going to make my love for officiating easier to execute.
In fact this is how terrific my job is. I’m currently sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings in Plainfield, IN watching the Butler game. Ah, what a life…
