The right formula...
Don’t be afraid to go back to the drawing board. That’s one of the soundest pieces of advice I’ve received in a long, long time. We at Inside Track took this advice seriously and that is why the first, second, and third editions of this magazine look different from each other. We made changes along the way because if we really want to grow we should not be afraid to experiment, to redesign, to make some adjustments that we may come up with something better and bigger. In other words: We should not be afraid to look at our mistakes and correct them.
Going back to our beginnings, Inside Track was born out of love—the love of writing— which all the members of the Editorial Staff are...well...guilty of. The many hours of putting all the editions together have been quite an experience. There were lots of challenges along the way but we knew right from the beginning that we were doing this because this is what we are passionate about, therefore we were prepared for the impending challenges. We told ourselves we are going to have fun. And so we did. On top of all that, we learned a lot of things. And that is why we will not stop until we have achieved the right formula. We did not impose any pressure on our selves, neither did we see any problem as a reason to give up. Much of what we did were experimental because we believed, no matter how hackneyed this may sound, in innovation, in thinking out of the box, in deviating from the norm. Like people who are engrossed with something they are passionate about, we devoted countless numbers of hours on our past publications. It isn't a bad deal, considering that many of you, our readers, commended our efforts and often asked: When is the next edition coming out?
In reply, we requested you to bear with us because, when you want to do something worthwhile, producing something sloppy is not just a part of the plan.
