It has been about four months since my last post. To update everyone, I have started a company and is currently building a new product that we believe it will make both the users and businesses happy. It is definitely not an easy task and I learned the following in these four months:
1) It is ok to work in coffee shop almost everyday and actually many people do the same. haha
2) Finding the right people to work with you is absolutely essential to startup. I am fortunate to be able to form a team that is highly skilled. Of course we all certainly could improve in different areas.
3) It is also important to learn many different skills before you even start. I am doing programming, graphic, logo design, web site soon, biz development, researches.... I am glad that I was into graphic design before I start doing programming when I was younger. And also I am very interested in technology so new tech learning is not too painful for me. Although I don't considering myself as an expert, those are important skills to build the product as we don't have many resources to hire others to do these.
4) MBA helps, but not too essential for doing startup. Startup is about building a new thing and see whether it is could work out. MBA mostly taught people how to manage an existing business. I believe for HK we need more training to help people do startup.
5) Things will certainly not going well, but it is always a new learning experience.
6) Startup is also about self control. To move thing forward it is important to control my own emotion.
I am lucky to have the support of people around me. A big thank you to you all.
Will post more in the future.
