Lifestyle has been the biggest change but I have learned a
lot about myself, the importance of family and being cautious about what I
waste, such as food, products, and plastic bags. Definitely components that I
will be bringing into the 1ME company environment one day, 1ME will not be your
traditional office that I can promise you.
The past week, the team missed the deadline to introduce
MeSocial to the big boys but there were dependencies that were out of our control.
I was not going to push out an unfinished product update since this will be their
first impression of MeSocial and those first impressions are important. However, we are looking
to push it out early this week so both the development and marketing teams
have my drop-dead deadline. This is it. I’m excited to share the new features,
a speedier flow, and updated look to both our current beta users
and to the new ones!
Another realization I came to this past week was to push
what my ultimate vision of what I want to see MeSocial back until next year. It
was a difficult decision since the main reason I came out to India was to work
on version 2.0. There is a lot more work that needs to be done and I’m not
happy until we can establish MeSocial to what it is, the ultimate social media management
tool. I need to build our user base and gain their trust and respect before I
can move MeSocial to the next level.
From the India perspective, we are getting acquainted here,
got my first haircut and I’m not bald! The house maid still does not say
anything to us, she slaps the wall a couple times to get our attention, we
exchange some hand signals, and something gets done, haha. I’m going to change
my diet as well, I have gorged on enough high carb foods these past couple of weeks. I was
able to find some raw almonds and cashews, so that combined with an apple,I
have a low carb, protein packed dinner. Ba (Gopal’s
Grandmother) has “trained” me to make her coffee in the mornings, grab the
newspaper, and starting today, check her blood sugar level since she has
diabetes. Yep, you can add caretaker to my resume, but kidding aside, I’m
glad I can provide her some help! Thinks she likes it and is always impress
with my speedy and consistent delivery, haha. At some point, I hope we can throw a trip to
Bombay for a weekend, but who knows. 
This will be my last post for a while since the next couple
of weeks will be busy. I need to focus on MeSocial, the company, and figure out
what is next…
TT Advice: Be hard on people not because you are a complete
ass but rather because you want to make them better by setting a level of
expectation. Being a great professional, leader, and human being, is the
ability to grow people. However, the level of expectation should be achievable,
not too easy and not relentless.
