I design games; I teach game design. I spend a lot of time dissecting motivation, examining what drives behavior. I create competition and scoring structures to reinforce and reward success.
Today's announcement is all about winning.
I started Tandem Learning in February 2008 and started this blog at the same time to document my adventures as an entrepreneur. Some of my posts have been work-related, some personal, but everything I've written has represented my journey, up, down, and sideways over the past three and a half years.
Today's announcement is all about the next phase in that journey.
Last Friday, we signed the paperwork: Ayogo Games has acquired Tandem Learning.
Can I get a Hell Yeah?!?! Woohoo!!!!!
And an OMG. Seriously.
There will be lots of information coming soon about all of the awesome things that will be happening with the merging of Ayogo and Tandem, how our skills and expertise compliment and enhance each other's and the cool work we're already doing together.
But this post is my celebration. My "in your face" to the haters. My happy dance, my victory lap, my WE DID IT!!!
I started a company, I built it up, and I sold it. I set a big scary crazy goal and I achieved it. I didn't give up, I didn't give in and I didn't listen to everyone who told me I couldn't have it all. I've learned so much, about so much...this was an awesome prelude to the next phase.
This is also a thank you, to more people than I can possibly name (except Jedd...how can I not thank Jedd?). I can't begin to express my gratitude, in different ways to different people. For now, for this blog...thank you for reading. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for following along.

This, my friends, is what it looks like to level up. Game on!
Hi Koreen - awesome! congrats!! Love this para: "I started a company, I built it up, and I sold it. I set a big scary crazy goal and I achieved it.

ReplyDeleteThanks, George! It takes a lot for me to look at things I've accomplished and say: "yes, I did that" because I usually follow that up immediately with "but i didn't do X,Y, and Z." Today I'm just gonna own it; tomorrow I'll start the next list of "to-do's" :)
