Hello!!
Another year has passed…. this goes really fast, my little girl is already 1’5 years and I feel old xD.
Time to review like in 2014, 2015 what I have done in 2016 and what I plan for 2017. 😉
In 2016
- Titi Cars , Wallapop for cars 😉
- sellbox.ga, sell your dropbox files easily.
- euvat.ga, this is how I learned lumen and laravel
- MailJagger, just for fun done with laravel, I thought about monetizing it, but I see it difficult, many competitors in the market
- new sys admin, back in April we were not scaling as we needed and we had a tough month, now we have a scalable system and high availability
- Open-classifieds now is Yclas , moving all to SaaS
- learned laravel to get some new skills, quite funny
- More photos, loving the photography world and is well paid.
- Expired domains I am letting die unsuccesfull side projects and domains that I’ve been renewing since long time.
- Sold open-eshop.com , no time for this project
- Improved iOS and Android apps for Yclas
- Got some ridiculous offers to sell OpenClassifieds LTD, I heard them I did not follow them.
- Almost bought 2 direct competitors, we are negotiating still with 1, slow and the numbers do not add up.
- Went to many StartupGrind finally a startup meeting I feel I like. Nice people.
- Moved to new offices after 5 years in the other one. Now we pay less and got more space 😀
- Been a dad is rough but super funny!
What I have not done in 2016.
I’ve made some promises I have not accomplished.
- Failed to expand more Yclas, we spent lot of money to open new markets without success.
- We did not open offices in USA
- Did not buy any competitor
- Monyt didn’t work got many issues with APPs developers, lost money ;(
- Actually working even more :’)
- Did not go on holidays, but scheduled for 2017
For 2017
- Titi Cars , we are about to launch the native apps
- iamnoa.com , a side project for my wife to see if we can work from home
- Focus on Yclas new themes and features coming soon!
- Create some small projects like sellbox.ga to showcase yclas
- Try to work a bit less, I am currently working more than 60 hours week – repeated from 2016
- Travel more, now is more complicated but I need it, I love it – repeated from 2016
- Have more holidays, this year was especially difficult to enjoy some days off – repeated from 2016
- Maybe acquire another competitor, in negotiations already 😉
Wish you the best for 2017
