I’ve struggled with motivation today.
I never do that. Never. Ever. Yet, today I did. It is a turning point, it goes down (very low), just before it goes up.

A business is a very fluid thing. It will go in any direction you take it, but it will have its own flow. Maybe I should say that it’s a fluid that has the capacity to change its flow. It will change, even if you don’t realize it, so wake up: it’s not about you.
We’ve changed the lives of many people with Squirrly, the way they work, the things they learn, what they believe is good marketing and what is not.

+ Happiness for our Customers. No matter what internal problems we had, what difficulties we had, we always ensured there was Excellence in Customer Service. This makes me happy. We did slip here and there, but the cases were isolated and we did all there was in our power as human beings to fix those issues. Our passion for helping out our customers and continuosly building an amazing product with them is something that did not fade out. It makes me proud. It’s an important value for our Company.
We’ve burned over 110,000 USD with the company so far.

Recently, I spoke with the biggest VC firm that ever contacted us for investments. I’m keeping in touch with them because they rock and their portfolio is impressive and its about some great companies in our space.
The company grew, breaking it’s break-even point. Now, the problem has been fixed and we’re self-sustainable once more. Currently growing to profitability.
I just recovered from an intensive and prolongued burn out that really got into my head. I’m happy this happened, even though it still pains me.
It made me enter into another “the DIP’ situation. I had one just before giving up on my first startup. This other one only made me stronger.
It helped me erase all resentments and regrets for the things that went bad this year. It helps me build a solid, viable future for Squirrly as a company that will pretty soon launch some impressive new products.
I am happy. Realizing all these made me realize how much I’ve grown over the last year as an individual and makes me realize that I will be ready to evolve as the company itself evolves. I’m not falling behind. I’m finally learning how to keep being steps ahead.
The last future that we’d envisioned died. I’m so glad it did. Now there’s room for a new future, one that’s been already tested and that will bring us from startup stage to a really successful stage.
The company has been built. It’s here.. and it’s amazing.
