It's been four weeks since my last entry. I do apologize for the long gap.
I am very happy to announce, however, that my book Zero to One Million (all 273 pages of it!) is finished and has been sent to the publisher. I should have the first copies by November 6 and will start selling them by Nov. 15 through www.zeromillion.com. I worked about 60 hours last week finishing up the book and then editing it. I will be self-publishing it initially through Lightning Source, Inc. I am hoping to sell enough copies to attract a mainstream publisher
a few months down the road.
I have also been working hard building Broadwick. Josh has ended up doing very well and we've built another 18 customers in October alone. We've also recently added open and click through tracking to the software. We've broken even and are now making more money than we are spending.
We are now hiring Josh as a full time employee. His first day starts in about 7.5 hours. Somehow in between now and then I have to leave the office, go home, go to sleep, wake up, have a shower, eat breakfast, and be back at the office. Good times.
