Vince Reed recounts a personal anecdote about deciding to build his own lead-capture page software. He became ambitious to have the software ready to announce and release at an event four months away, contacted multiple developers, and encountered skepticism about the tight timeline.
I wanted to create a game changer. You know, this was during the time where, you know, all of these different pieces of software were popping up to help people build landing pages. And, you know, we were using a specific company to do that. I remember thinking to myself, how cool would it be to have my own software, my own lead capture page software that I could offer to other people and use on my own? And I started kind of calling around to some people to see what it would be like to essentially get this built. And I decided to get really ambitious and see if I could find someone to not only build it, but to build it in time to announce and release at my event. Yes, like, four months away at this point. I've got this newfound, like, mindset where it's like, you don't say what you can't do. You figure out a way to where you can do something right. So I go get by. I call another guy. He says, it's too not enough time. I go get by. I call one guy, he goes, well, I think we can do it, but it's gonna be close.
