Starting the Journey...

[happycoder]

<div class="bbWrapper">Just a quick introduction, 26 years old and based in Ireland. Computer science graduate. Currently at the moment work as a systems administrator (Linux) and e-mail/phone support technician. Pays the bills but feel like I would rather work in an environment that I had more of an influence. Want to branch out into the world of business and entrepreneurship. All in good time <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /><br /> <br /> <b>Current project:</b><br /> Currently working on music transcription software (everything - programming/documentation/copywriting/marketing) and don&#039;t have an accurate timeframe but can&#039;t wait for my first sale. This will be for PC (Windows/Linux) and Mac OS X. No plans yet for iOS / Android<br /> <br /> There are two competing products on the market that I both use for figuring out chords / melody from music (as a hobby) and feel like I would like to try give a try at creating an alternative (whether my one will be simpler, or have features I think are missing that others would benefit from, is still to be fully decided - but I will push that USP/differentiator once I&#039;ve done more work).<br /> <br /> I have dabbled with affiliate marketing / Google Adwords in my teens, it was nice pocket money and I suppose it would be alot quicker than making a product, but don&#039;t really have interest in it at the moment. But I&#039;m hoping that any knowledge I gained then, will be helpful as I create my PPC campaigns later.<br /> <br /> So I still have a good bit to learn about online marketing etc. and hope to put what little I do know, into practice.<br /> <br /> This will mean a good few months of programming but I have already made some progress with the functionality and user interface but it&#039;s a slow journey and embracing it.<br /> <br /> This isn&#039;t quite a &quot;Fastlane&quot; idea, as the target market is small. But I&#039;m hoping to use it as a way to get my feet wet. If I make enough sales then hopefully it might result in free time to tackle bigger things and leave my full-time job. Or I could combine it with freelancing.<br /> <br /> <b>Fastlane Future:</b><br /> I hope to create an ERP / SaaS offering at some stage for small businesses. Basically allowing small business do inventory management / stocktaking / accounts / point-of-sale. Also with a focus of being able to access data offline and quickly or &quot;on the go&quot;. I&#039;ve used OpenERP for my brother&#039;s HVAC business.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> The Millionaire Fastlane book was the practical jolt I needed, to lean and hustle through the journey. I needed affirmation that this would take time.<br /> <br /> Looking forward to contributing to this community/forum.</div>
