Happiness is determined more by ones state of mind than by external events

Happiness is how we perceive our situation, how satisfied we are with what we have. Our feelings of contentment are strongly influenced by our tendency to compare.

Frame any decision we face by asking ourselves 'will it bring me happiness?' A state of happiness that remains despite lifes ups and downs and normal fluctuations of mood, as part of the very matrix of our life.

Start by deeply thinking though the problem that you current customers have and how your software solves it.

You must know other schools that are similar to your current schools. Where can you get a list / LinkedIn? / Government ed sources / Buy a list.

Write materials to contact these schools / emails / newsletters. Keep cold contacting them every 3 - 12 months (unless they ask you not too).

For groups who response with queries, setup time to show them your solution. Give them testimonials.

If they ask for a sales pitch, then offer to quick config your solution to their local needs.

It's a process of talking to potential clients, discovering and understanding their problems, and considering how your software could be a solution. It is a conversation.

We lose $ on every sale but make it up on volume?

Sorry this blog has no substance because it doesn't articulate the elephant in the room. After 4 years you have some revenue, but you don't have any profit...therefore you are continuing to fail.

Unless the line 'Software Development' is what you paid yourself to develop the software. If so you have: 460k sales with 127k owner benefit (27% profit).
