Hello,

Last month we spoke about dealing with unexpected successes in your entrepreneurial activities. While investing time and money in your venture it is possible to learn many things...but you won't learn everything simply by reading a book & listening to others. When you spend time in the kitchen, you can get burned...but after you apply the ointment, you remember what to do next time. Avoid the flames, embrace the passion.

Sincerely,

Jack Xu &
Judy Wong


iMustardSoft LLC, a web/mobile software consulting firm founded by Jack Xu and Judy Wong, is an active member of the EI community and finalist in the 2010 Business Plan Competition.

As entrepreneurs, we are always on-the-go to accomplish great things. In contrasting the life of King of Uzziah with that of his son, Jotham, we see the importance of steadfast reliance on God. By seeking His way first, God will open the right doors. iMustardSoft has gone a long way over the past two years. We have been blessed by God in many ways.

In the West, media had identified the religious school as being linked to the 7/7 London bombing. "The situation was tense," Johnston recalls. Israel was fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon. Because of U.S. support for the war and its invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans were not considered friends. Leaders of the madrassah warned Johnston to say nothing provocative. But as the youngest ever to qualify for the command of a nuclear submarine, Johnston is accustomed to tense situations.
