Maybe I should just be honest...

I spent most of the day trying to figure out what exactly I should put up on the blog. It was frustrating, because I really wanted to put up some professional post. Some smattering about how I had just gotten off the phone after talks with a walmart exec, and they said they wouldn't go lower than the meridian line on cost out puts, or some such nonsense like that. But the truth is today, it was hard to get motivated to work. I mean I did.. Obviously, I sat in front of my computer all day and tried my best not to log on to "gizmodo" or one of the other countless sites I picked up as a bad habit while whittling away my hours working as a graphic designer at Nationwide. That bastion of compassion...

The reason I couldn't think of anything to write is because I was trying to come up with a convincing lie. This blog is being read by supposed supporters of Binary Cards, people who are willing to give money toward it on sites like "kickstarter" or maybe just friends and families that want to help. I feel a need to be professional. To proclaim conquests, and mergers, and heaven forbid, profit, or hell, income...

The truth is, I'm not a very good business person yet. I get burned out quickly. I hear "No" 5 times in a row and I am ready to call it quits for the day. I guess in many real ways I am just experiencing humanity. No doubt a feeling that most buisiness leaders felt before sucess.. That burning of the emotional muscle that's stretched to thin, the fatigue of extended failure.

What does this whole post mean then?

Well, I started this as an obligation to the people who supported me on kickstarter. But I think that I'm going to continue this blog as a window into me. Yes, I'll focus on the struggle to push Binary Cards into the forfront of everyone's holidays.. But maybe for you all it will be a little more then that. Maybe if your where I was 2 years ago in starting a business, or maybe your where I am now. I hope that I can give you some encouragement. There's hope in numbers right? It might help to know your not the only idiot with the chance of success. If I can do it (and I know I can) then you can to.

Stay tuned for an installment called, "Who is Jason Dawson?" I promise it will be loads of fun!
