Its enough whining and complaining, lets focus on opportunity

Counting myself amongst the whiners and complainers, quite a few of us have been bemoaning the state of the technology industry in Canada for quite long now without achieving any results. I’m done with whining and complaining. It’s enough with looking backwards. Instead, we really need to capitalize on new opportunities.

At Brightspark, we’ve been spending time focusing on how to create value in this market. New approaches – with low spend, businesses that generate cashflow, and Internet businesses that cater to the current marketplace.

It’s all about positive energy. Instead of bemoaning how bad the market is, how the Canadian tech market is in trouble, how the new budget snubbed the hi-tech industry – it is far more productive to focus on where the new opportunities are, how new markets are being created and how best to function in this market.

Using this approach on refocused energy, in the last few months we launched Collectionbuddy, Brightspark Studios, our first iPhone app called “My Golf Swing”, and Agilebuddy with our fifth Internet business launching in the next month.

In the next few blog posts, I hope to write about how we are doing this, what we are focusing on, what lessons we have learned and keep reporting back what we are now learning.
