Hi, I'm Eric, lead developer for BeesNest Web Design! My story is a little unorthodox on how I ended up in Web Development and Design. My former career was in the Hospitality industry as The Corporate Social Director at a major family resort. Eventually, I wanted to make games and programs for the guest and staff alike, leading me to being a self taught web developer.

How I Messed Up My Ship 30 Streak
by Eric Ranner

For the last 20 some days, I have been writing online every day.

That was until yesterday. I officially messed up the 30 day streak.

I had intended all day to write my piece. Hour by hour, something else continued to pop up and take precedence.

It was Saturday, with my wife and 3 kids. The list?

  • Prep for my 4 year old daughters birthday on Sunday.

  • Watch the boys while my wife takes her to get her nails done (she loves anything pink and girly).

  • Check on the food and the cake.

  • Take the kids to see their great grandma who’s sick.

  • Get home, cook dinner, bath time, bed time routine.

  • Blow up a hundred balloons and decorate with the wife.

Head hits the pillow, eyes closed and 30 seconds later… I sat straight up in a panic and looked at the clock… 12:02am.

I messed up. I’m human. Here’s the great thing though… I’m starting my next 30 day streak - and these 30 are going to better than the first ever could’ve been thanks to this Ship 30 cohort.

Keep learning. Keep shipping. Everyone makes mistakes.
