    Balancing sales with full-time job

    B2B is harder to start on 9-5 than B2C. Customer support seems the easiest - emails or delegate. Depending on the software you offering some kind of remote desktop/screen sharing session with clients may solve their issues much faster. It's hard to do while on 9-5, so I would delegate, but...

    How much would it cost to program/code/develop my idea?

    IDEA PEOPLE 
    Outsourcing companies usually don't care about stealing the idea. It's not their business as systems are tuned to land clients and deliver products non-stop and effectively. Simple NDA would be fine I think. P.S. This thread is 7 years old...

    Where do you work from? Home vs Office

    How can you all stay focused at home? Provided that you don't live alone. Asking cause when I'm home my wife asks me something every 40 minutes or so.

    Where do you work from? Home vs Office

    Currently, I'm mostly working from home when kids are sleeping/away. Recently rented an apartment for 2 weeks to have a quiet place to do an urgent project. Sometimes I'm working at my 9-5 office on weekends cause no one else is there. Planning to co-rent an office in June with another small...

    Just saw MJ DeMarcos article on affiliate marketing

    MARKETING RANT 
    I think MJ hasn't talked about the professional approach to affiliate marketing in his video. More of a SEO/content marketing for some big company affiliate program like Amazon/AliExpress/etc. You're doing paid traffic. You have different traffic sources to work with. You're carefully testing...

    Red pill, down the hatch

    INTRO 
    Sorry to disappoint you, but 2 hours a day may simply not be enough to even have a chance to succeed. Take this serious, decide if it's really important for you. If so you probably can assign it a higher priority and work more, if not then... Spending a lot of time on books/idea is action...

    Building a website

    Just realized... Are you able to provide your service now without any employees and tools/equipment involved? If so try to sell the service directly to prospects without any kind of website and other kinds of promotion or validation. This would be the best validation. And the product can wait.
