New service "hoob" This month we kicked off a new service. What is it? This is a wi-fi ad sharing service between stores. Stores with "hoob" can share their ads to one another by wi-fi access users of each store. When a customer accesses wi-fi, there is a popup ads which shows nearby store. At café you can see pubs and restaurants, and vice versa. How do we make money? We put some 3rd party ads between ads such as movie posters, car ads. In order to start it, we need at least 50 pilot stores. So far I've got 35 stores on the pilot list. I'd visited nearly every store at Hongade area in Seoul. Hopefully I would gather 50 stores by the end of this year.

Startup_Caseby.me, Every4to

It's been around 6 months since I joined a startup. For the last 6 months my company has made two services; Caseby.me and Every4to. What I learned #1 Lean startup Lean startup is about prioritizing. With limit resource; time, money a startup needs to decide 1)which core functions our service must have 2)when is the deadline; often a ceo or product manager push the schedule because he is the man in charge of the ship. #2 How to do marketing If you are a rich startup, achieving critical mass is a hard task but at most startup they aren't. Targeting is very important since it's the fastest way to see if it works or not. Target customers are the source of your revenue; traffic. But then, how? By analyzing user activity you can get hints.

Transformation

3 weeks ago we got an intern. The only woman in our company. After we launched our service with giant platform, the sales soared about 10 times. There are a lot more to go. Strategy. Direction. Vision. Every single member need to be aligned under one goal.

What are you afraid of these days?

That was the question my English teacher used to ask to me once a week.

At every aspect of our lives people have worries. When they are kids their big concerns are like mid-term exams, school stuff. As we get older those worries are changed to money, success, career.

We continuously worry about things. Though, most of the time, after a while it turns out worries that had annoyed and kept you awake to be nothing.

There is a saying; “Don’t worry what you worry”.

On my way to work #1 Is this the best I can? With a small team there is no one controls you. You have to be a self checker. Each time you have to ask yourself if this decision is the best or is there any other alternative. Keep it real.

2013 CES and TechCrunch

As usual I clicked TechCrunch website and found awesome live TV. TechCrunch was broadcasting CES on live with two reporters. #1 Free touring This is a good way to look around CES without paying a cent. Of course it's not like to be actually you visiting the exhibition but still you get the glimpse of it. #2 Indirect learning You can learn how to deal with buyers and sellers in the exhibition. Through the live reporters go visiting many booths and interviewing personnels from each booth. You can watch how people communicate.

The first Monday in 2013

Last week was busy one for celebrating the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. It's been a week since the new year started. Last night one of my friends posted "Looking back 2013". It was interesting that he wrote it as if it is the end of this year and touched what he will have done this year. So, I will try it here as he did. Last year(2013) -Career I quitted the job in Wind Energy industry and started a new career at IT venture. My first job was to take in charge of BD position which deals with collaboration among different businesses. Over the year I fairly learned a lot like how to make good services in terms of customers' needs and satisfaction. The company I got in has grown up rapidly for the year about 2000% growth rate. I was lucky to start the job in this company. -Personal Swimming; butterfly, six-packed, Learning Spanish; B1, Playing the guitar, Marathon participation 2 times.

Build a blog

From July 2012, I’ve subscribed Seth Godin’s blog and Chang’s blog. I was thinking starting to write would be nice to keep it clear on my deep thoughts. Today I was reading Gokeun’s blog and the theme was coincidently about “blogging”. Above three bloggers that I have continuously subscribed since last september, they altogether recommend to subscribers writing from this year. No matter how well I can write, they say “just start it”. So I am doing it. I wish this year will be the first year for me to build my blog.

Pencils from Smiles. I appreciate it.

The last day of 2012

Simply put, 2012 was "Chaos" to me.

I dreamed to work in Wind Power industry, and luckily enough I got a chance to work at one this year. The reality though, was far different from what I imagined and what I wanted it would be. Then I asked to myself what really I want to do.

Spending 5-6 months meeting new people, slowly I have figured out where to go in 2013 and in the coming 3-5 years.

On the last day of 2012 I am taking the time to look ahead 2013 as well as look back 2012.
