    You're Reading The Wrong Books!

    BOOKS 
    I have a simple rule. If I'm not reading a book which is directly related to what I am trying to achieve, then I get a book to read which is of interest to me. I always try to have one book that I am reading at any given time. For example, in the last couple of weeks I didn't have anything...

    What "The Founder" can teach all of us

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I watched the movie last week due to this thread. Really enjoyed it! As others have mentioned, I thought it was interesting how Kroc was struggling scaling the business as he was making such little profit initially. I can't remember who said it but I heard that "A startup is a business...

    What is the most important ideology you have learnt about entrepreneurship?

    1. Zero Sum Game Realising that a lot of things in life are not finite was a big one for me. Most things in life are not zero sum game i.e. if I win my customer wins also. If I make more money, it doesn't mean others can't make more money. If I can help someone do something by sharing...

    Healthcare Fastlane Journey (So far...)

    EXECUTION 
    Just thought I'd post another update regarding my app and what I have learnt since I last posted. I've recently closed a deal to launch my app in a 70,000 patient clinic. Very excited about this. I need to give some training to the staff there and then we'll be unleashing it on their patients...

    Coding bootcamp business - is it worth to start?

    If you haven't even started and signed one person up yet, should you really be worried about scaling? MJ actually wrote a great bit regarding scaling in Unscripted and how a lot of people misunderstood what he meant in TMF. He gave the example of Starbucks and how a lot of people would dismiss...

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    I think I was on facebook for a month or so before I got rid of my account. I found it amusing how everyone had a "tabloid-esque" page dedicated to themselves. Talk about needing external validation for a feeling of self worth. Isn't that what this all comes down to though? We all want to...

    You don't need a website, you need sales

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Love this! What I've noticed in my own experience is that it's tempting to keep doing the same thing because it's easy. If you haven't done it before, then getting something out in the world (even something as small as a MVP) is really hard and takes a lot of effort and pain. It's tempting to...

    Hi Kwikbitz! These are good questions! And trust me, I had the same thought process when I started my company! It's only as I've gotten more involved and gained more seniority that all of this stuff came to light. The UK also is a government funded healthcare system, however money isn't just...

    Just as an example. In the UK, we get bonuses in our clinics if we give a certain percentage of our patients an influenza vaccine. If your innovation automated this process when they walked in to the clinic then it would bring in a lot of money. There are other ways we handle this at the...

    Hey! Yes the people at the top in healthcare really do seem from a different world a lot of the time! As George Orwell once wrote: "In our society, those who have the best knowledge of what is happening are also those who are furthest from seeing the world as it is. In general, the greater...

    Hi Kwikbitz! Nice to meet you. Congratulations on already getting your product used! This is no small feat! I would say that if you want more clinics to pay for your product then you need to give them something that they see massively helping them. There are two ways how you can prove...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    You don't need to learn code to be a successful entrepreneur. One of my mentors makes 5 MVPs (spending about 5000 bucks each) at a time and when something has traction he gets sales. Then he makes the full app with the money he gets from pre-sales. On one app he spent a total of £25,000 and...

    Stoicism vs. Apathy

    MINDSET 
    This is interesting. It seems we all have different perspectives regarding what Stoicism actually is. For me Stoicism isn't about ignoring emotions. For me it's realising we have a lot of control over many aspects that we may take for granted; our emotions, our outlook, our thought processes...

    Producerism vs. Consumerism

    MINDSET 
    I've recently made the transition from employee to employer. My transition was more of a progression. As I worked up the ranks of my industry there were more and more opportunities. I've always wanted to start a business in my field and I finally had the leverage, capital and connections I...

    Unpleasant Truths...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Your life is a direct consequence of the decisions you've made. (However, the decisions that you make now don’t need to be influenced by what you’ve done in the past. Every decision going forward is an opportunity to change.) (Sorry I can't help but be a tad positive! :blush:)

    Identity Hacking: How to Kill Your Status Quo

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Resonates with me so much. One thing I was actually of thinking of when reading Unscripted was how a lot of second generation immigrants (like myself) develop a mentality that allows us to accept that we are different. As a result a lot of us do things which society deems wrong or weird - like...

    Thank you both for reading. It means a lot to me! If you had read my initial post a week earlier, I actually named the "Government Organisation" I was talking to! Unfortunately, they keep tabs on where they are mentioned on the Internet! They rang me in the middle of one of my afternoon...

    How does open source make money? (if it does)

    For B2B software just have a look at how Salesforce did it. Marc Benioff wrote a book called Behind The Cloud, which is very insightful. For a lot of open source software, it's not that the whole software is open source (e.g. Google's search algorithms), but it allows developers to create a...

    Totally agree. The worrying thing for people who have been in education a long time though is that they actually confuse "the process" with "the trick" or "the event" like MJ calls it. People who have been in education for a long time think the real world is all about jumping through hoops...
