Subscribe to Aridni Note to self: Don’t be distracted

I just saw a commercial for my idea a little while ago. The only problem was that it wasn’t mine. Over a year ago I had a million dollar idea that would take some setup time, and be only a matter of promotion from there.

One of the big issues that I face is that my programming skills in this language aren’t as high as they need to be. I have to reference books to move forward with the project.

An even bigger issue is distraction. I’m kicking myself for not working as hard and long on the project as I certainly needed to be. There is still room for more in this particular area for another player, so hopefully if I can launch within the the next four months I might have a chance.

Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best won’t produce results. Like most things, focusing and doing the work will. I need to get going before I see advertisements from another company now.
