Putting yourself out and not just doing the daily things that keep your business ticking really works for me. My biggest successes come when move out of my comfort zone.

I think if you can do something different in your business once or twice a week it can make a huge different.

For example, part of my brick and mortar business was IT Support, by pushing myself to try and sell to businesses, I was able to build the most successful part of the business.

That in itself brings it's own challenges and tough times as a business grows but it's all a learning experience.

I've since moved on from the brick and mortar business I was running but it gave me such a hugh boost in confidence. Even if things don't always work out as you want, you learn a lot about yourself ready for your next venture.

It looks like you have the action thing down… you have a nice site here.

Thanks for the comment!

Sounds like your burn rate is too hight to start with. I'd slim down the staff even with funding. I'd outsource development to an offshore firm you develop a relationship with and then you only have to pay them when they do work for you. Doesn't have to be all of your staff this way (though I would). Also, a full time SEO person seems excessive really, considering the size of the operation. I may be totally off here, it's just a guess based off the info I've read

Also, I'd recommend that you check out this awesome Mixergy interview.

Note how his early web design business went from making a few K, to LOTS of money. It's interesting that it was mostly a mindset thing.

Looking forward to what else you have to come!

Seth Godin said that he met lots of people with great, money-making ideas, but very few of them actually acted on those ideas because of fear or indecision. You are one of the few that take action.
