how i became a cto

The universe is amazing. This story is better than fiction.
As you know, I wrote a book. I blogged about that book, trying to get people to read it. Ariel, CEO of mEgo, a small startup you’ll hear much more about in a few months, read just about my first comment post and followed it.

She become the Second buyer of the book, and emailed me saying she really liked it. We talked and collaborated, and we totally gel. One key thing I did right, during my initial consulting, was that I suggested I could also do other things than what they specifically asked, because it turned out they really needed those things at least as much, forming the groundwork for deciding what I should contribute.
One never knows where some postive action will lead. Just do, and the universe takes us where we want to go. From several months ago, I’ve been meditating on the intention “when the time is right, I will be CTO at a social startup”, and lo and behold, delivered from nowhere. And amazingly, she tells me she feels like I was a gift to mego that came from nowhere. I sometimes put quotes around this “CTO” position, because what does CTO really mean in a group of a dozen people. But I put no quotes around my delight for the opportunity.

I knew to be open to synchronicity. And I’ve prepared for this day. The rest came as a gift.
