Hello, All!
After a much needed vacation and food adventure around the world (rather, Montreal, NY, Paris, and Barcelona), I’m back in the Bay Area and many things have changed. Being away from the startups for a bit allowed me to clear my mind and my teams are progressing quicker than ever in the past two weeks than we ever have before.
1. Reborn Luxury is almost complete. We had a couple of speed bumps, but we’re set, setting up the VPS, getting SSL certs, and other fun stuff as such. We should be able to launch within the next month. The benefit of this? I’m able to spread the love and contribute to the fight against domestic violence, a cause dear to my heart.
2. The LiveUmbrella team has decided to restructure our focus from web apps to a special foodie site (we’re both foodies). We’re confident that this new site is going to be in great demand and not only have great traction, but it just *fits*. When a project fits, just do it. My gut tells me this refocus is the best thing that’s happened to our team. I can’t wait to play with the metrics/analytics of the site!
3. The TastyTwosome Vlog has begun. Julianne (@bicoastalite) and I have begun video blogging insanity at http://www.tastytwosome.com and are interviewing fine dining chefs in their natural habitat as well as other unique foodie peeps (it’s the most exciting thing ever).
4. I’ve begun at Brocade as a Business Analyst, and am ecstatic to be part of such an awesome growing team and excited to step back into the corporate world. It’s going to be a fun journey, for sure, and this is where I’ll be spending my days (nights will be spent daydreaming in other ventures).
Well, that’s a bit of a recap as to where I am, how I’ve restructured my life, and a quick gameplan on how I plan to take over the world (you think I’m kidding- I’m not).
So, my advice and what I’ve learned in the last couple of months? When it’s time to let go, it’s time to let go of that project(s) you’ve been holding on to, take a break, and come back when your mind is clear so you can figure out what is most important to you. When you figure it out, pursue those.
It may seem like I have a lot on my plate, but really? I’m passionate about every project and conquest, so working until 1am every morning doesn’t really bother me… all of it is enjoyable. :)
Stay tuned for the excitement about to come… there is so much to be done, and life is waiting for us to do it.
-Love, LadyLeet
