I’m happy. Last week I found a VP Marketing. Let’s call him FM. (I don’t want to announce him until we have the paperwork finished, and that’ll take a couple of weeks.)

He’s great. We seem to see eye-to-eye on everything. He takes my ideas, puts them into an organization and glues them together brilliantly. Plus he pushes back at times, or to the side.

And there are a bunch of areas where I have good ideas for marketing, but have not been executing well. He’s taking those over, seems to have skill in those areas and knows some great vendors.

We came up with an incredibly cool idea the other day. I came up with it, but he did the pushing. And the great thing is that maybe he can say the same thing- that he came up with it and I did the pushing. We came up with it. I love that…  That’s partnership- not just working together, but together creating a future we love.

Partnership: Working Together to Create a Future we Lovev

And I’ve had this other good idea. But I didn’t quite know how to fit it in, or if we should. He really liked it! And he agrees- not in the first release. I think we found a great way to fit it into the plan.

We’re putting it all into a road map so we can plan it out well, and then study it to see its ramifications for the architecture. He doesn’t just want to push ahead, he wants to do it well. I love that.

And we’ll do the market testing as well as marketing and development. 

PLUS he lives about a mile from me! Already, we met three times in person while he waited for his daughter to finish a class.

Bringing on a partner takes legal work. So now I’m finding a lawyer, and directing him how to reorganize the company. Plus I’m working to guide the product developers and today I was handling the eventual cloud deployment. And I spent most of the day on reaching out to customers.

It was a long day. But the highlight was the daily meeting with FM.
