Like everyone with an entrepreneurial spirit, I’ve had many business ideas.
The one I pushed the further until CabEasy was SubMate. Saddly, SubMate didn’t fly. It didn’t fly for many reasons, but the main one is that I didn’t commit full time on it, keeping my day job and trying to pursue my project (development, fund raising, marketing and PR, …) on evenings and week ends.
I’m not doing this mistake again.
Today, at noon, I tendered my letter of resignation. From now on and for the next few months, I will work full time on CabEasy. With the little money I have aside, I will work my a** off on three things: product, partnerships, money. In pretty much that order. Product will lead to partnerships, and partnerships will legitimate the project.
Wish me luck - I feel like jumping off a plane, without parachute, by night, over a desert, without water. But I’m confident that CabEasy has a real potential, and I’m determined to listen to my users and partners to make it a huge success. Stay tuned, big ideas coming!
And if by fall I haven’t pushed three major updates of the site for three different potential types of customers, I will update my resume and get on Path101 for some career and job hunting tips ;)
See you soon - in a cab!

You deserve the freedom! The world is now yours to dominate. Remember also that now you get to decide when you wake up and what you’re going to do with your day, carpe diem!
