Brunfelsia pauciflora, or flowering Yesterday Today and Tomorrow plant
Yesterday, I had a well-paying job and felt like an "intrapreneur", or as Investopedia defnines it, "an inside entrepreneur". Yesterday was about a year and a half ago now.
Today, I am an entrepreneur. In the renewable energy, clean water and improved agriculture nexus. Entrepreneur is a word which encompasses many emotional states. It's thrilling, because we've developed an offering which will provide so much value to our clients that it literally sells itself. It's scary, because it's outside the norm of what financiers are used to and comfortable with financing, so we're having to self-finance at least until we have feasibility studies which demonstrate the total amazing-ness of our solutions...at which point we expect to attract both traditional and non-traditional sources of finance to our solutions. More on that in the months to come. And it's incredibly fulfilling to work with the best of the best, all aligned around our vision of making the world a better place. Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, there is a blockchain aspect to this.
Here's a closeup of today:
Tomorrow - who knows. The plan is to have changed at least a little part of the world for the better. Watch this space.
