The Eve of Shockey Monkey

It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly two years since I first shared the vision of Shockey Monkey, even harder to belive the amount of people and effort that went into building this beast. Tomorrow I get to talk about what I’ve been working on for over seven months, largely by my damn self, to pay back the people that make my business so damn successful. Talk about a payback, the affordable SMB practice management software built by the SMB people, void of the political mess that makes the other commercial solutions suck and force SMB into the compromise.

While I certainly wish I put more resources into this from the getgo, I don’t think the product would have been this good if it didn’t take every single feature from the actual people that run these practices. The learning process that I went through in bringing this to the market fundamentally changed the way I run my business in the SMB space, and in turn became an ultimate symbiosis between the world of SMB consulting and the world of management system development.

The people that will be paying for this software will not only be supporting their own community (SBS group kickbacks), they will be financing my new development company. Talk about pressure: my success is directly tied to the savings and success that Shockey Monkey has within my clients practice!

This has been a journey fillled with learning, learning and more learning. I cannot thank all the people that have taken their time to be a part of this process enough. If you’ve been waiting…… well, folks, trust me, it’s been worth it. You’ll find out just how much throughout February!
