  • A quick glimpse of 2010

    In previous years, I used to write massive posts on my successes and failures for the year. This time around after checking out my friend Malcolm’s post on his Recap of 2010, I was inspired by the simplicity of the post.  His year was in bullet points, detailing the major events and progress that happened in 2010.

    I’ll do the same.

    • Entered into a fantastic relationship with Irene
    • Made over $1,000 in beer money AdSense revenue purely from SEO
    • Pushed CheapDateIdeas.ca as far as I could with Irene
    • Quit BMO after being inspired by this video and meeting him at his “Crush It!” book launch talk at UofT
    • Started freelance work and took more control of my time to work on the stuff I care about.
    • Lived (and still am) living a very lean lifestyle.
    • Became Curator for the Toronto Startup Digest (Sign up! It’s free :)
    • Found a co-curator (or more like he found me) - Josh Sookman
    • Got accepted into Extreme University and seed funded by Extreme Venture Partners
    • Incorporated Date Ideas
    • Completely redesigned and rebranded CheapDateIdeas to simply “Date Ideas” with the help of the guys at You Say Yeah!
    • Went to the Startup Digest/Startup Weekend Worldwide Curator Meetup in Kansas City, MO. Outcome - made connections in Silicon Valley and around the world.
    • Parted ways with one of my Co-Founders (one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do)
    • Met and learned from some of the top entrepreneurial minds in Canada on a week to week basis for 4 months straight.
    • Learned about Customer Development, Lean Startup and applying it.
    • Gained two advisors who took me under their wing.
    • Gained two new team members and building “Beta 2” proper of Date Ideas in Rails
    • Received a crash course in Product Management and learning UX/UI design.
    • So proud of my friends, Malcolm, Josh, Dave, Jaime and Rob and what they’ve been doing this past year.
    • Learned more about myself and what I’m capable of compared to any other year.

    It’s been a wild ride.  Here’s to 2011!
