THINKING TIME.
If I had an extra hour a day, I would spend that hour in thinking time. We spend little time "thinking" and spend more time in just "doing." This is why we feel like we are always in a rat race.
If we make time in our daily schedules to pause and reflect on the past, enjoy the present, and strategize the future, we will not feel like time is flying past us. Carved out thinking time allows us to focus on what's good and what's not.
If you had an extra hour a day, how would you spend that hour?

FAILURE is LEARNING.
Entrepreneurs fail all the time. New business ventures, hiring decisions, outsourcing, customer relations, marketing, sales, day-to-day operations, and financial planning, to name a few.
As we fail, we learn not to repeat the same mistakes. If you are failing every day, that creates a toxic environment for you and folks around you.
When #@KallistoTech first started, we jumped right into #appdeveloment production activities without a full scope of the app we plan to create. After a few lessons learned, we now spend a whole lot of time creating a Requirements Specification Document that spells out the functionality of the system from start to finish.
This step alleviates any misunderstanding and sets the precedence for both our clients and our technical team to be crystal clear on expectations. No, "he said this" and "she said that" in the future.
KallistoTech is committed to making app development projects successful. Years of experience help us to curb any failure points and guide clients through the shortest path from starting the app dev project to successfully launching the app in #appstores .

Who's on your TEAM? 🤝
Do you have the right people on your team when building an app? 👥
Just like with a construction project, you need a software architect, engineers, and a project manager to see through your app build project from start to finish. A great team defines success!
If any one of these team members is missing in a project, it's bound to not end up on time or budget.
Build the team first. Then build the app.

Just as we wrapped up high school, I remember one of my friends saying he was done with learning and would never pick up another book to read.
I looked at him and wondered whether he had gone completely nuts!
Books provide guidance, and shortcuts and caution you about pitfalls. They teach you different perspectives and broaden your horizons. They are an excellent resource to keep learning quickly and correctly. My real learning started when I picked up books about personal and professional development AFTER my tertiary education.
It doesn't matter whether you read hard copies or ebooks or even listen to books as long as you keep reading.
What's your book count each month?

WIREFRAMING.
It's easy to talk about features of an app only going by a scope definition document. However, when you see it come together, that's when you get really excited and start thinking about intricate details of the user experience.
Our team first creates the wireframe of an app to provide a client a 30K foot view look and feel of the app user experience. Wireframing is similar to a pencil sketch, which shows buttons and other components in the app. This gives a good idea about the information flow of the app and how different components are interconnected.
Once wireframes are complete, next step is creating the ground level look and feel in the prototyping round. This is where the actual working buttons and app screens are created using a rapid prototyping tool like Adobe XD or Figma.
These two steps are important steps in app development than jumping straight into coding of the app engine as the look and feel sets the precedence for the end user experience.
Have you created any mobile apps? Have you done it yourself or used an app development team?
How did you approach your app development project?

GIVING VALUE.
That's my main focus every time I get up on stage.
It's about unveiling behind the scenes of how you do what you do and why you do it.
People in the audience don't want to know every little detail about your life or your business. However, the audience members are curious about what makes you better than the rest.
I believe in givng more than just inpiration during a talk. I share ideas and game plans that can be put into action by the audience members.
As long as you teach a new concept, discuss a tactical org process and/or present what to look for in the future, you have given value to your audience.

What's the difference between an App Developer and an App Development Partner?
It's simple - a shift in mindset. It's simple and complex simultaneously because you have to be ALL IN with the change of attitude.
Think like a programmer who wants to make a quick buck, and you will find yourself running from one project to another. However, if you start thinking like your clients, then you will be invited to become business partners in projects that you will complete for them.
Shift your mindset, and you will shift your business.

Some too many entrepreneurs jump into the Production phase of mobile app development projects immediately without documenting what they envision creating.
After a few months, it's no surprise that there is a large gap between the client's verbal expectations versus what's produced by the software developer.
Therefore, it's essential to go through a Discovery Project before spending boatloads of time and money on mobile app projects.
The output of the Discovery Project is the following three components.
1. Finalized written requirements specification.
2. Technical breakdown of tasks, milestones, and hours estimate for the project.
3. Pricing proposal based on above #2 .
Start with the Discovery Project for an app or software development project. You will emerge a winner at the end!
