It's amazing how a book can change the way we think and see the world!

Today, I was studing a little bit on Sebrae's site and one of their indications lead to the book The Lean Startup - A Startup Enxuta, no Brasil - and I read the Intro with so much surprise and passion! It's nice when you have this feeling once in a while, lately I'm very worried about how Brazil's economy is going bad to worse, few companies open in my city and a constant concern about when I can or cannot open my company with a scenario so unfavorable...until I read a piece of this book today. With that in my mind, I comprehended that if your idea is well-directed and has support of the client...nothing would stop that. I remember some of the other Sebrae's lessons like "9 in 10 companies close because it had a good idea but no one wanted to buy it"...and everything comes clear, and I realize that I am close to what I want.

I became curious about Brazilian Startups, and this link can help you: 10 Startups Brasileiras para ficar de olho em 2025 - it's in Portuguese, but you can see a brazilian company by those names - specially umgrauemeio, very brazilian like! XD

I hope to write more, but I need to study more about this book and other lessons that Life brings to us. I hope that you have a great Friday, drink lots of water 'cause the heat is overwhelming and go through the shade 'cause the sun...my friend, here where I live is 40ºC, too damn hot...:D

A new Monday, I was thinking about my next project and an interesting idea was creating something related to food trucks - here we call them "Barracas de Lanche" or "Podrão", really unusual! 😁

Probably someone else did something similar, but I want to try with my view and like a Prototype for a future project. Anything too fancy, just the basic idea and subjects like "payment process" and "delivery" could be implemented later. I rather contextualize the idea than to crack my head to create a new deal and then...someone come and steals the idea. No, I prefer pretty simple and with context and then, in the near future, create that same idea to a client.

I create projects using Kotlin or Java, learned a lot of Java concepts in my technical course but nowadays I'm comfortable with the concept of creating with his "son" Kotlin! 😄

...don't know why, but I rememberedd right now the song Dancing in the Sheets, band called Shalamar, from the intriguing movie Footloose! 🕺🏼

Tuesday, another inspiring day to deal with! I started studying more my Sebrae course about opening a company and I researched a little bit, finding this article: Target the Right Customers | Niche Marketing Strategy Explained

Very intriguing, but common for people like me that live in this world of Niche Subjects. As an example, the game of my life for you guys: Diablo II: Resurrected

...seriously, I always find myself questioning: why the company, Blizzard Entertainment, abandoned an IP so powerful as this one to dedicate their time in a game no one care called Diablo 4? Poor feedback answering is the question, and that's why Niche Market is so important. After all, when you are open to what your clients want you will receive more money, attention and acceptability - 3 key things that the actual Blizz don't have anymore.

That's why I want to surf in this market, because I want to know what my future clients want. They will pay me, so I have to be attentive with them. I will keep this thoughts in mind, always remembering what D2 become nowadays...

Tuesday afternoon, I had to visit the internist to acquire more medicines that I need for my health and...an eering sensation accompanied me during the route...

...I can't put in words exactly but...a feeling when you see a "phantom city" - very similar to Western movies, when the protagonist arrives in the city and he sees only the hay rolls rolling around...I felt the same walking here, on a hot Tuesday!

It's pretty clear that something creepy will happen in Brazil; only God knows what will be my friends...

Besides those feelings, I like to watch some funny videos on Youtube. If you don't know this one yet, hope that you enjoy: Footloose: Shalamar - Dancing in the Sheets (1984)

...unbelievable how a song can change the way we think, see and interact with people and Life itself...

The other day I was hearing a song that my brother selected on Youtube and it was Never Be The Same, from the lost bard Christopher Cross. I have a special consideration for this singer because I heard him IN LOOP in my good old times living in Curitiba, Paraná; they played his songs almost every hour! 😆

The power of Music is incomprehensible. Yesterday, I was playing Witcher 3 live and a song from Priscila came out...my God, marvelous! A really joy feeling, stop and listen to what the other person wants to say! 😎

I end up this post with Christopher Cross song for you guys: Christopher Cross - Never Be the Same (Official Lyric Video)🕺

...falling on my head like a Memory! Good Lord, Rain be praised my friends! For someone that lived in Curitiba, a city that rains almost every day, and now lives in one that rains rarely...a great change, I must say! 🌧️

Roo City is hot as always, but this change of temperature is really good folks. Here, some days ago, was with humidity around 15/10%, unbelievably dry! Now, looking at the actual humidity: 58%!!! A big change, good fellas!!! 🙏

Besides that, I want to deliver my penultimate project today, stay tuned for that! 😎

Recomendation of the day, pretty obvious: Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again (Remastered)🎵

Today I read a bit more of Eric Ries book, and I was intrigued about Intuit: how a large company developed a focused team that could implement a new business model to a common problem related to taxes in the U.S.

Ries explained that the Intuit's developer team could create the right product in a different type of company: a well-based one, not a Startup as he was so accustomed to; Intuit had leaders that understood the way a Dev Team could work: with open space to test the products and pick the good implementation in the righ time.

In my scenario, I am alone. I'm doing things like my closed friends are doing with their businesses: alone or, in some cases, with a little help with a familiar. There is a friend of mine that has employess, but pretty sure he started alone and did everything by himself. A business requires Time to mature, and I'm not deluded that I'll conquer everything I want fast and richly; I know requires Time, customer acceptance and Marketing to aim for a good place in IT Market.

For a little more of what I'm talking guys, recommendation of the day: The SnapTax Story: A Pioneering Example of Corporate Innovation💼

Hope that you have a great Wednesday, I'm anxious for some Power Bomberman later!!! 😁🎮
