It's Been a Month

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post.  Time flies when you're busy.  A good bit has happened since my last post.  cycleWood has been moving right along.  The last few months have been a learning experience in negotiating.  While I would love to share the details, it will be a bit before I can fully disclose all the goings-ons.  There is still plenty of work in front of us.  We'll be doing some development work in the next few months.

We've been putting our MBA education to good use too.  All that finance, accounting, and logistics actually comes in handy in the real world.  We've been managing all the financials for our lil start-up ourselves up to this point.  At some point we will need someone else to support those efforts, but until what we learned at Walton serves us well.  On the logistics side we've been looking at different ways to optimize our supply chain.  All that stuff Dr. Hofer taught us turns out to be rather useful.  We think about what service level we want to have and pooling our risk and also modes of transit.  I think the EOQ model has been etched into my brain.

These are exciting times for cycleWood.  I constantly have this feeling of nervous anxiousness.  I wonder what will be around the next corner.
