I transferred some cash from Skrill to my local bank account last Sunday (2013/07/28) which was supposed to be in my account by now but no, it is not.
Then yet another bank transfer was supposed to put some cash in the bank, which too is delayed for some godforsaken reason.
These were the first two news of the day, the third one came in as I was heading back to my office. Earlier I gave office keys to my assistant, and told him to open the office while I was checking things in the bank. The lad called me to tell that the only office key we had was broken inside the lock. I was like WTFFFFFFF, but I somehow told myself that there's nothing I can do to fix the situation. There was a solution though, bringing in the lock master and getting door fixed.
About the project that got dropped, well it was just a project I was counting on. The client' like a good pal and I had even an iOS developer on the hook since the client said we'll be starting on the project soon. With that project gone, I have been searching for work desperately, I have found a project which is not as good as the one that died a silent death but still its good enough to pay the bills and keep things rolling forward.
A couple of month ago, I was bemused by seeing many senior software engineers and project managers working for others. I thought, had these people worked for themselves, they could have been on much better places.
Just a month of solo flight and I understand the perils of "solopreneurship" pretty well, why people don't dare to attempt a solo career is pretty clear. You can't just sit in the cubicle and write the code, instead you will have to do something about that broken lock, internet connection, faulty laptop and everything. It is this way at least for the first few months. Entrepreneurship, is not the thing for people with weak stomachs.
To be honest, the first wave of challenges would be difficult to handle, afterwards it will be everyday business as usual.
In my case, I believe the first wave came and went away. Luckily, it failed miserably leaving me undeterred.
BRING IT ON!!!
