Web Development and Business
Updates on what I've been up to in my career of business and web development.
In 2013 I gave 7 talks, 3 videos and wrote 4 external articles (…and tweeted 3,516 times). I spoke at: Fluent Conf Online, JS Day Italy, Minnesota Developer’s Conference, Clockwork JavaScript, MinneBar, MN Web Design and JavaScript MN. Most of the talks I gave were local to Minnesota because my wife and I had our first baby and I want to stay close to home. 🙂
Here are the links to the slides, videos and external articles I wrote in 2013…enjoy!
I wrote this article looking out the window of the cheap bedroom I’m renting, while thinking about how I planned to dump significant amount of my business’s profits into creating a conference that is free for everyone. It turned into a whopping success in terms of everyone getting great education and having a good time. If you are curious what I am talking about read coverage of the event.
Increasingly people think I’m rich so this is in a series of articles that I’ve drafted to break down my concept of value and wealth to open up a path of discovering what real “rich“ness really is. Even though I am not rich financially (though people think I am), I’ve talked to many who wonder just how I am able to make the moves I do.
Let’s get started…
The most reliable way I know how to improve the future is to learn from the past. If you don’t like your past, change your ways. If you do like elements of the past, learn from them and do more.
First, I’m going to do a recap of the past. Then I’ll share about what happened this year.
Since this website is dedicated to documenting my career, I figure I’d better take a look at the last 11 months which have been quite inspiring.
The company I started now has a strong team and we are ready to swing for the fence next year. We have gained 20+ clients, with 30+ projects which all have been delivered on time and on budget. Way better than I thought.
