Here we go again.

I took my blog down a year ago when I decided to accept the role as President of Alchemy Solutions. I just didn't think I would have time to maintain it. Now that the Alchemy gig is behind me, I decided it was time to fire the blog back up.

The truth is, I miss writing.  Well, that isn't entirely truthful. I actually hate writing because I suck at it. As I get older I find myself fighting more and more brain farts where my thoughts get ahead of my typing and the next thing you know, I don't complete a sentence, or worse, finish my thought.  Writing is work for me, so please bare with me if I ramble a bit.

Since I'm working with the VentureBox Business Accelerator in Bend, Oregon, I plan on writing about startups and the journey from an idea to market. I'm passionate about lean startup principles, customer development over product development and the importance of focus and executing with a sense of urgency.

I also love product development, so expect me to write about products from time to time. I'm an investor, so expect me to write about the businesses that excite me. I'm a certified ScrumMaster and love program development and agile development using the SCRUM framework, so you'll be reading some of my rambings in this area as well.

I hope you enjoy it, please comment often so I know you're out there.

Thanks for stopping by.

...Jim
