Please join me in celebrating a new beginning! During my career, I started several businesses; many failed, others brought me to where I am today. I always embraced my past as the teacher that it is, I believe one has to keep failing until finally succeeding. To honour that idea, today I completed the acquisition for a domain name that will become my 10th startup. In the Bible, the number 10 is a symbol of completeness, harmony, order, creation and divine perfection. In my mind, the 10th startup symbolizes commitment & discipline, wisdom & mastery, and a relentless will-not-stop attitude to do what it takes to make this dream possible. So let me introduce you to theArtofthePossible.com  (no website yet, I just literally got the domain transferred). You might be asking what is this new venture all about? Stay tuned… all I can tell is that I will be harnessing my knowledge and years of experience as a Salesforce Technical Architect 😁
