The project “MyGoals” now named “Destiny Goals” has finally been launched on the 12th of May 2007. It took approximately 8 months of planning, designing, programming, project coordination and time management to get my project on wheels.
Finally, I have reached the light at the end of the tunnel. As I reflect on my previous 8 months, I have found that one of the biggest obstacles that I had to overcome was my self doubt. Self doubt that I would never get my project online, self doubt that it wouldn’t be useful and self doubt on myself.
I have learnt and discovered that what ever you do in life, whatever you aim for, it takes about 3 minutes from the original inspired thought to be followed by feelings of fear. It’s easy to say “you can do it” to someone who is struggling, but when you’re struggling, the war begins in your mind. Whenever I read a successful story, I start to imagine all of those fears and obstacles in the mind that the person conquered. Whenever I see a successful product, I can imagine all the bugs, defects, problems encountered during the development of the product and the amount of effort it must of took to overcome it all.
Now that I have reached the end of the tunnel, I have come across another obstacle. Promotion and marketing and getting the word out there. This Sunday, I will be constructing a marketing plan in which to advertise Destiny Goals. I will begin emailing my list of contacts who I believe may find Destiny Goals useful and hopefully, the wheels will begin moving forward.
