Timing is everything.

I started my Viva Tags business in 2011 and launched it with this video in 2013. 

For the next 3 years I was told by vendors across many industries that the concept of scanning QR and NFC codes would never catch on. Ok, I wasn't promoting them as a solution to a global health pandemic, but I was certain, one day, they would become an essential commerce, marketing, and customer engagement tool as they have become today.

Sadly I wasn't able to keep Viva Tags going until the rest of the world caught up, but hopefully this is a timely reminder to my fellow entrepreneurs everywhere that often timing and sheer luck has as much to do with success as your best laid plans.  And where possible you should keep going because you never know when unexpected events will turn everything in your favour. Cheers.

PS: I still love the logo.
