    Put up or shut up: SaaS domination

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I just put in a decent effort to outline 3 different guides that will need some graphical design (that I can do fairly quickly) based off of mistakes that I and others have made that I've learned over 10yrs in my field. Things I get asked for help on in person. Have some downtime while...

    Put up or shut up: SaaS domination

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thank you, @lowtek, I think you are correct. Concentrating on value I am most familiar with and am sure to provide is a better idea than distracting with something I'm not that interested in.

    Put up or shut up: SaaS domination

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Wow. This forum is an incredible source of information. Several things have been brewing in my mind since my last post here. Spending all of that time programming without testing anything in the market was dumb. But that's okay. I'm now a good enough web developer that I can grok the...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    I haven't had any issues with performance. It's not uncommon for me to quickly get some ideas down on my phone (Android) and organize them/develop them on my computers later. Haven't had issues with the windows or Android app. I've had some difficulties on Linux, but that's because their web...

    Put up or shut up: SaaS domination

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thoughts after having slept after previous revelation: I shouldn't restrict myself to only a SaaS just yet. Because it's a holiday season, testing ads right now won't be effective so I'm brainstorming things to test. The features ideation is easy. Already have those written down and have the...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    A library card Modern libraries are fantastic with their reserve system, computer access along with expensive software, and somewhat up-to date technical books that can get you started on adding value. For free. Evernote I bought a year's subscription. Don't even know what I paid. Why? When I...

    Thank youy @amp0193 ! I have begun digging into his posts. Funny things: I was planning on doing exactly what the epic guide above was telling me not to do. I literally have a functioning feature of the app already and I was going to make some gifs of it to show once I had a better wrapper...

    Wow, thank you for pointing that out @lowtek Something tells me you saw the signs of where I may have been headed in the wrong direction. That is an incredible series and I marked it for a reread. Exactly what I needed to hear right now. Definitely had the wrong approach. Good news: the past...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Putting time in programming while I can this weekend. Also, did a quick market check. The industry I'm serving is a combination of two separate industries, if you count software only, of 20 billion. The larger market in the US, not just software, is closer to half a trillion USD. There's got...

    Side Hustle or All In to win?

    MINDSET 
    I did an experiment while building my product on the side: I took a full week off of work before traveling to family for the holidays. I thought: I'd get so much done without that distraction. What happened: I wasted tons of time ineffectively. Although I moved in a forward direction, I did not...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just completed my second read of The Millionaire Fastlane after reading Unscripted. The main thing that is important for me was being able to visualize the long-term goals better. Being in the slow lane my whole life actually killed a lot of my enthusiasm. I didn't recognize it until I...

    Put up or shut up: SaaS domination

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Decent set of commits today before calling it. One of the big mistakes I made was premature optimization. Originally, I had set up several very spaghetti-like structures in my code that would make it easy to modify "sometime in the future" without getting all of the moving parts working...

    Still Think That "STEM Degree" is a Ticket to a Nice Job?

    MINDSET 
    STEM has paid very well for me, but it's required a lot of constant studying and getting to the root of issues. A lot of engineers I know are unwilling to explore beyond their narrow area of focus and thus get blindsided by issues that should be obvious. This is the norm. I've moved across the...

    Put up or shut up: SaaS domination

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I will update here as I move further along in my SaaS project. This particular one started mid 2017 while I was doing work (for free) developing someone else's idea that didn't gain any traction. I subconsciously knew that I had little control in that case and wanted to work in an area I have...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I wish Fastlane was around when I bought 4HWW, but checking the publish date, it was years later. Ferriss got me thinking about executing on a plan, but it wasn't as thorough as either of DeMarco's books.

    Cryptocurrency is an action fake, is it not?

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    Here's how I see it as someone not yet out of the slow lane: There's a potential huge upside coupled with potential huge downside (losing all the money put in it). The potential huge upside includes a shift to cryptos as the primary means of buying/selling. This could have long term very...

    Engineer planning an escape from golden handcuffs with SAAS

    SAAS / APPS INTRO 
    Hello everyone, This post is a long time coming. I've been building a product on the side, but not with the aggressiveness and speed that I should be. That changed after reading 3 books: Unscripted (finished yesterday) Fastlane (read earlier this year from library, just bought for kindle...
