Taking account of the assets

"We believe we can fly".

Well we certainly can as long as we have the right tools to do so. Thankfully Tegy found “Getting Real” by 37signals.

I read it in one sitting and highly recommend it to anybody who is embarking on a project with limited resources. Many of the points are equally relevant for larger meaty projects though may be slightly difficult to implement in a corporate setting.

We all know that plenty of money, time and people is no guarantee for success and yet it is so easy to lose time and energy counting the things we do not have. We realised that we are sometimes suffering from what the author terms as “not enough” blues.

So we decided to take an account of things that we do have.

We have “more than enough” backing of our friends who have supported us immensely with their comments, votes, creative contributions and, at times, with their constructive criticisms.

We have the freedom to be widly creative with our resources - it is only up to us to ensure that we always have enough imagination.

And most importantly, we have the freedom to choose the scope of our project, a luxury that very few projects can afford. Choosing those “desert island discs” is never an easy task but then only we can have enough gumption to take those tough decisions.

However there is no shying from the fact that there is a lot we do not have and we hope to share with you as to how Nebula7 plans to manage to do without them.

We would love to hear if you have been able to use your lack of resources to your advantage.

We believe we have enough aptitude to listen and learn.
