One Year to Success

You might find it strange, but I’ve actually never looked at business as an art that can be mastered. Up until recently, I saw business as a skill and a discipline that you learn, much like solving a physics problem. But only now I realize that it’s much more than that – it’s an art that needs to be mastered. My previous attempts at starting a business weren’t as successful as I would have liked them to be, and now I realize that perhaps the reason is just that; it’s an art and a science with infinite intricacies and challenges. But in the end, if you see the pattern, beyond the numbers and the well thought out strategies, perhaps you’ll make it after all.

If you’ve seen my blog before, you might have noticed that the title changed. It used to be “Alexandre Boudreau’s Blog”. Yes, I know, that’s far from being creative and appealing, but the fact is I just didn’t know what to call it. That is, until now. It’s probably déjà vu, but what the heck, that’s how I see it now, that’s how I’m calling my blog.  In addition to a revamp in title, I’m taking a turn with the content as well. You see, I’m a man of projects. It’s the only thing that keeps me alive (obviously aside from my beloved wife and son). I need to think, learn, innovate, and create. This is why I’ll be mostly dedicating my blog to a new project I’m starting – outside business hours of course. But it’s not so much about the project itself, but rather the process and journey towards the goal: One year from today, I must have brought this new project to life. I have one year to bring everything together and make it a successful project, according to my terms. There’s no stopping, no looking back, no abandoning. Just move forward and adapt along the way. On a weekly basis I’ll be describing this journey and hopefully we can all learn from it.

Let’s mark the date. On no later than December 12, 2010, I must unveil this project to the world.

Cheers!
