How do I feel when I look back at 2005?
I guess I feel proud and happy ;)
2004 was my setup year... gave myself goals which I met...
2005 was meant to be my year where I'd work hard and get things in place for expansion...
We moved out into our new office. Granted small , but effective for what we need done... that was step 1 in january.
throughout this year, I also managed to hire new programmers to straighten up all the admin and maintenance tools required for the feeds which I had developped myself... The goal was to get them redone so that anyone could run it , not just me. This has been completed for the most part, focusing on stats/billing/tools next.
I've also brought our encoding biz from a capacity to encode a few dvds/mini dv tapes in a week to being able to, through tools and setups I created, bring the workload to be able to handle several hundreds of dvds or tapes a month, all of which can be handled through 1 single person. Lots of time, efforts and materials invested in there, but it sure pays off when I hear the good comments from past clients and am able to encode what I need for the feeds ASAP at an awesome quality.
I've also been able these last few months to establish content deals with a few companies to launch new feeds through our brand new infrastructure which was built to allow an easy integration of new feeds in a matter of a few hours. Adding this to our encoding structures, we are able to create a great amount of new sites to offer our clients.
Finally, I am pleased to see Ron Stewart Join our forces to provide an excellent support to clients and an amazing help at recruiting new ones. We are waiting a few more days to complete the annoucement, but this is one of the things I am looking forward to the most.
Oh and this year again, we have exceeded our goals as far as growth goes, at least having doubled or trippled our revenues.
Off course, Shap and others that know me will know that I constantly need new projects to keep me on par, so for this reason I know that I can't give myself an A or B+ as I know I could have done more... but looking back, I know I have brought this up exactly where I wanted in preparation for next year... next year everything should be booming and I have never looked forward to the next year as eagerly as this time around ;)
It's definately good to see us both growing and going through similar paths my friend... granted you take bigger steps than I :P
