Notes:
Working with Steve over the GoToMeeting session. We spent the first hour going over budgets, decisions, etc.

- We are a vendor not an investor. This means that we seek to sell our products and services vs trying to help build up other companies and do other things for profit. This may change later, but it is really important that we only run as fast as we are able.

- Why do we have to pay to help a client succeed? Past and present clients - relationships and lessons learned. This was a talk about numerous clients that we have had to pitch in thousands and thousands of dollars to help make them go, get them going, and/or trying to help them be happy. We need to flip this model and charge for our services, where possible.

- Custom developers and code writers and where is that going? It is a bonus to have people who can write code, build, and upload files and pieces. Who is managing all of those changes? Are we all going in the same direction? How can we help direct that expansion and those changes.

- What about Chris and Russell with AFB (adilas for business)? Where are they going? They are very strategic which is good but also makes us watch them a little bit closer.

- What about PHP and WordPress stuff? We talked a little bit about different coding languages and how those can work by themselves as well as with others. The world keeps changing. We also talked a little bit about both backend engines and frontend engines and interfaces.

- Need for maintenance on some of the older code and features. The further we go, the more maintenance that is required. Someone has to help with the upkeep and maintenance. If we had the money, it would be nice to rewrite some of that older code and bring it all up to a certain level. In the mean time, we just keep doing what we can do.

After talking with Steve, I spent some time writing some emails to the Canadian vendors about our role with helping them setup a white label of our product in Canada. We want to be in a vendor type role vs an investor type role. Hopefully it helps spit out what we are really looking for in the relationship.

Shawn came over and we are trying to get some things done with the sales tax project. He is doing some small clean-up stuff on the project and also doing some of his own payroll stuff to fill the time.

Brainstorming with Shawn about the sales tax expansion project. We got out a whiteboard and started to do some planning and explaining in an old school manner. It really helped to see things visually vs just putting things in writing. We defined a few things, drew some diagrams, talked about the what and why, and then moved from topic to topic. It helped me get a better understanding of what we are doing. Hopefully it helped Shawn get an idea as well. Good stuff.
