    What makes a good website?

    MARKETING 
    You have to define what you mean by "Work." The first step is defining that. If its, "inform site visitors about my services and products," that's a very different site from "convert site visitors into paying customers so that my company triples its revenue within one year as a result of the...

    What makes a good website?

    MARKETING 
    Here's something I've thought about a lot in regards to site design: A good website is one that achieves the goals you've set for it. A lot of site developers will do all sort of fancy stuff (including making a beautiful website that has clear calls to actions, appropriate funnels, etc), but...

    Power generation by using unusable heat

    HOT! 
    You've also clearly argued with everyone for pages and pages. Investors don't sign NDA's, as a rule, by the way. NDA's are pretty worthless anyway, and investors don't want to be bothered keeping track of so many agreements that will never amount to anything for them. But, best of luck.

    Power generation by using unusable heat

    HOT! 
    I'd recommend you ignore all the naysayers. There's no point in arguing this here. However, why are you asking for money? Can you not model this in software first? I'm sure the software to do this is quite expensive, but I'm also guessing there are 'ways' of acquiring this software that are...

    This. I wish I had known that 20 years ago. I spent way too much time considering what color my parachute was and not enough time jumping out of planes. (If you missed the reference, its from a book I DON'T recommend you read: "What Color is Your Parachute")

    Here's something to consider: each of us, no matter how difficult our circumstances, has an area where they have an unfair competitive advantage. What is yours? How can you capitalize on it?

    Your post is concise, actually. Good job While its good to learn a new skill, figure out fairly quickly if its something you're going to use. Time is life's most valuable commodity, and I say this because I have spent too much time in my life doing things I didn't end up using. Pick and...

    Would you go to Harvard Business School For Free?

    I'd say at this point that it says more about the college. The commenters here are successful business people who look at Harvard with disdain. I do as well. 15 years ago, that was not the case. I used to admire it. I think elites are amazing people. Between then and now, however, its...

    Its interesting ... we're all contemplating a FREE education at perhaps the most prestigious university in the world, and we're turning it down. That tells you something.

    Would you go to Harvard Business School For Free?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Black holes suck. Isn't capitalism itself racist? So not sure how that works at a woke business school.

    Would they try to indoctrinate me in wokeism and critical race theory? If so, I'd fail, so no.

    The ONLY way to get past that fear is to actually do something. Not: one of the ways, maybe there's a gentler easier approach if you think hard enough about it or consult the right books/talk to the right person/get lucky enough etc. The ONLY way. I speak from experience. Once you do...

    I've been doing this kind of thing for a bit now. I met a guy just today that is looking for a multi-million dollar software system to be built for him. I have no idea if I can put together a team to accomplish his goal, but I'm going to try. Another contact offered me a CIO position for his...

    Need Help- Should I Sell My Software?

    Don't let MJ scare you off. He knows a lot, and you should listen to what he says, but he's also not God. So, take in everyone's advice, and then decide from there what you should do.

    Need Help- Should I Sell My Software?

    Look into LinkedHelper. Its an automation tool for LinkedIn. Its VERY careful about doing things slowly and locally to 1) avoid detection, and 2) personalize your outreach. I use it to automate things that I do repetitively on LinkedIn anyway. slow is not bad if you're selling high value...
