You will fail.
I struggle with whether this is right topic for my first blog post. It is so negative, but it is important to accept the truth, you will fail. Why is it important? Because as they say, the truth will set you free!
Many of you have looked at the emerging application stores elsewhere and have started counting your riches and the fame you will gain from developing the killer app. The truth is most everyone reading this blog will fail in developing that killer app. It is this one simple fact that has turned the mobile industry on its head.
Why? The truth will set you free. Being free to fail, will allow you to conquer. You can risk failure. You can innovate, waste resources, put out betas, and thousands of other things that may not work seamlessly with the rest of the handset.
You can afford to suck. But maybe, just maybe you will be the 1 in 100 that will not suck. That 1 in 100 chance is tough for big companies to invest in but not you, you have the freedom to fail.
The application store above all else lowers the barrier between you and the consumer. It gives you the ultimate chance to create and fail. I hope you are the 1 in 100 and don’t fail. When you don’t fail you can change the world and nothing is more rewarding than that.
Keep checking back to my blog, it could be interesting to watch me fail.
