This thread and Jack Edwards thread on starting a business are some of the best, most educational things I've ever read. Thanks!

Yeah this story is dripping with motivation and inspiration, and is an added testament to the value of MJ's book.
I unofficially launched a very quiet private PAID FOR beta and was overwhelmed with the response and very soon had to close the doors to new people.
I would like to add that this wasn't my first business venture.
I have tried and failed 3 times before.
Also, while all this was going on I thought I had the Midas touch and invested in a property deal which went wrong. VERY wrong and nearly ended everything for me!
The only advice I would really give is a bit cliche; give it a try. If it doesn't work, learn from that and try something different next time.
This success story of his just reminded me of the much stressed and talk part of TMF ' book - PROCESS (tenacity of purpose) and what people see and celebrate (EVENT)
Yup, and sadly, that part of the book is often the most maligned ... WTF is this? Accountability? Process? Decision making? Tell me how to make money!!!! Give me the juice, not this "process vs event" shit!
Not Sure I follow you @MJ DeMarco, but I've not been on the forum that long. Are you inferring the naysayers just want it laid out on a plate for them rather than having to grind out the work and take responsibility for their decisions and actions (or lack of action)?
To cut a long story short...
Fast forward a few months...
I think I've answered most of the questions there, if anyone wants to know anything else, please just ask. I can't go into too much detail about the deal, but other than that just shoot.
Cheers

I might in the near future. I'll pm you for info after I get my idea fully sketched out.After a few bad outsourcing experiences I was lucky enough to find an Ozzy guy who is absolutely brilliant at LAMP development and server admin, if anybody needs that sort of service, PM me and I will put you in touch.

Who has ever had the balls to say that?
But this kind of ebook project probably wouldn't be profitable use of your time though, considering it wouldn't appeal to the mass market
