    Being in relationship with someone who has mental illness

    PEOPLE 
    Plenty of thoughtful advice on the mental illness angle, but really it comes down to you being 17 and this being unlikely to last even under ideal circumstances, because neither of you will be the same person in two years, let alone decades. So whatever you do, it will probably come out in the...

    Anyone learned speed reading?

    Related to this, I recently discovered Spritz which skips the learning process of a speed reading "method" and simply leverages technology to speed up reading by eliminating eye movement. I love it, unfortunately all the ebook reading options using this so far(on Android at least) suck a lot...

    Bookkeeping - to outsource or not?

    EXECUTION 
    To answer this in any useful way would probably require more information. You have given literally nothing beyond your intention to start a company. A firm with one local client may well have very simple bookkeeping. A firm selling domestically and manufacturing overseas may have something...

    Big things start from tiny 1's and 0's

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Everyone is taking about running a local *AMP stack, but what kind of development are you doing that you need to spend the time figuring all of these things out? If you're just working inside WordPress, for instance, why not just screw around on a cheap webhost? I got the impression you weren't...

    New Website, CHECK OUT

    I've read some more, and I overstated the severity of the language issues, I think. I'm still going to recommend some proofreading at least.

    New Website, CHECK OUT

    Constructive criticism: are you from the United States? Your writing makes me think English is your second language, which is a problem if that's not actually the case. So maybe the moral of the story is to hire an editor.

    SAAS Execution, Dane Maxwell style

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I cannot read German, so I can't judge how to design and market around the other product, but good on you for finally having those calls. Keep forcing yourself to do it and you'll have something actionable in no time, that is if this one doesn't work out. rep++

    ForeverJobless Podcast

    HOT! 
    You have another listener in me, but oy vey with the sound quality. I won't mind when you get a better microphone. Keep it up though, good stuff.

    Offline Business Advertising

    EXECUTION 
    To add to this, I'd be interested if anyone has experience/ideas for specialty b&m retail, rather than these more service oriented companies. I'm not getting into the space, but rather am marketing to it and would like to be able to help them make more money, so they have more to give me. :)

    $2500-$5000 to quit your job?

    As I understand it from the Zappos version at least, the offer comes only after some weeks of training/brainwashing into their strong corporate culture. They justify it by saying that the sort of person who takes the money is not the sort of person they want. The rate of people taking the offer...

    Something Cool I'm Doing On Twitter

    MARKETING 
    So what's doing? Been a few days since you had any Twitter activity. FWIW, your thread was the impoetus for me to hustle up and finally get going on Twitter - I've collected 48 relevant followers in three days. I don't know if those numbers would impress anyone, but I'm happy with this rate...

    Something Cool I'm Doing On Twitter

    MARKETING 
    I suppose just about any click bait headline could turn into one of these, making it cry out even more for interaction. I like it a lot! I'm about to start on social media in the lead up to launching a product for business owners in a specialty retail market.

    Something Cool I'm Doing On Twitter

    MARKETING 
    I love this. Very clever and boy howdy, how perfect for your niche. I'm going to try to find a way to apply the "interactive" Twitter images to my own. Any thoughts on how this could be used for something other than question/answer reveals?

    Question form: Language barriers!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This is one of those cases where the current solutions are free and as good as it gets with teams of PhDs and Google-level funding. How would you compete? Or I may just be misunderstanding what you're getting at with this.
