The First Dollar #8

During the first year of ActOnMagic, we operated from my home. Bootstrapping a startup is a unique experience! We were fortunate to receive tables and chairs from Little Eye Labs. Thank you, @Kumar, for the donation and the quality advice early on.

We performed a critical CloudStack upgrade for a Middle Eastern system integrator, using ActOnCloud to compare pre- and post-upgrade configurations. It took 8 months to achieve our first four-digit revenue! I set aside Rs. 500 from our first earnings. It was a proud moment!

One thing became very clear to me: a major service integrator can trust a small team of three, operating remotely, to execute such a complex and critical project. TRUST! It’s all about the trust I built with the CIO of the company over 8 months. I thank Mr. Elhagracy for the opportunity, and they provided a wonderful testimonial for us!

Nurturing clients and keeping them informed about our progress is key to building confidence. One day, God will open the door!

Have a great day !
