Well, Thursday was disappointing to say the least. I didn’t hear from Abushek in India Wednesday or Thursday. I have to assume he is working on the final GUI for the bulk dialer and the real-time reporting. These are the last 2 elements we need before starting calls to our beta testers. Also, we aren’t the only people he works for, so it’s entirely possible he is engrossed in someone else’s project or emergency.
Sadly, there are many Associates here (and several others at the company level) waiting for him to complete his portion of the work so Jeff Wilson can complete what he must do. It’s kind of a domino effect. One cannot execute without the other. So as of this morning, I have nothing new to report as I had hoped for with respect to the completion of this upgrade. It’s very frustrating to be so close, and yet there’s absolutely nothing we can do until the programmers complete their work.
This condition is the direct result of under-capitalization. With sufficient capital, naturally, none of this would be an issue because we’d have a full time staff working around the clock on ONLY our own project. As it is, we have to cobble the software together with a conglomeration of contractors who (at the moment) cannot work for us full time b/c we lack the resources for consistent payment of salaries.
But I’m still not worried because I know very well the power of voice broadcast and its ability to bring us thousands of paying customers. With enough paying customers, the need for more capital is sharply reduced or eliminated entirely. Right now, without additional capital, we have enough “excess capacity” to take on thousands of paying customers without investing one more penny. That many paying customers provides sufficient cash flow to create substantial profits (i.e. new capital) for the company AND create a great deal of AFFLUENCE for numerous Associates!
We have ample reason for optimism. Although the last couple of days have been disappointing, it’s only because of a lack of communication with our India team. This is just a very temporary issue and should not be seen as a major problem. In the overall picture, we’re right on track and still well within the parameters to meet our benchmarks for 2011, which is to complete Phase I of our marketing roll out.
Please check here over the weekend. I fully expect to make up for the last couple of days’ lack of progress on Saturday & Sunday. See you then!
