We have just completed a 2-day Oceanhouse Media face-to-face summit. My head is swimming with ideas, tasks, and plans. The team is pumped! Compared to our last meeting many things have changed again. In many ways, it feels like we have shifted into 2nd gear.

• The team has grown to 11 people.
• Our first app (“Bowls”) is selling well and we have 6 more apps in production.
• Our current calculations are that we should have 20+ apps shipping this year.
• The team is efficiently picking up the internal production work allowing me to focus on the “big picture” business needs.
• If we were having fun before, we are certainly having twice as much now. I, for one, haven’t worked this hard or enjoyed myself this much since we first started Presto Studios back in 1991.

There is something special about starting a bootstrap company. This is my third attempt. Each one has been more enjoyable than the previous. Contemplating about the feeling reminds me of a quote that a very dear friend told me of when I started OM back in January.

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” – Rumi
