    Are you "that guy"? Great! The door is over there...

    I've noticed that there are two ways to figure out if you're talking to a fool. Either: They agree with everything you say OR They disagree with everything you say

    Programming Own App vs. Outsourcing

    SOURCING 
    I literally had this conversation today. I've been through the same pain as a non tech person. But there are only a few options to choose from and the option you'll choose depends on the effort you want to put in and the amount of money you're willing to spend. 1) Learn to code - cheap...

    Headaches and Fatigue

    HEALTH 
    As a physician all I'd say is to at the very least get seen by a doctor, who will rule out any important medical conditions which will require further investigations / management and to get your eyes tested. If the optician and your doctor can't find anything to worry about then you should...

    GOLD! 
    Amazing!!! Congratulations!! You have a great outlook and it sounds like you're genuinely an all round great person! :) If I get to where you are in 9 years time I'd be a happy man! (Heck I'd be happy if I get there in 30 years! Ha!) :)

    30, Slow lane Doctor from England, UK joining

    INTRO 
    Don't follow the rest of the sheep-like advice regarding having your own clinic. The common thinking in the UK is to become an employee so that you're "safe" and have regular holidays and a regular salary. Yes, there's more responsibility owning your own clinic, but doing anything of value...

    Healthcare Fastlane Journey (So far...)

    EXECUTION 
    Gosh, it's been a while since I posted! :O It's been going really well, thank you! I've got all the pilots etc that I need now. And before 2017 was over we hit 2,500 patients registered and using the app. Now it's a case of gathering some more data and building a couple more features. The...

    Sure, let’s blame capitalism

    RANT 
    The people on this forum are the closest to reality. It really is amazing that MJ's managed to gather so many like minded people together here. IMO, I think part of the problem is that the advice that parents used to give 50 years ago was sound advice. However, that same advice is still...

    Does anyone else dislike the "Startup" community?

    RANT 
    I've been to a few of these startup events and I feel exactly the same way - just too much talk about garbage that doesn't matter and no talk about working hard and bringing value. >99% of people at these events haven't even started something or are constantly coming up with excuses on why they...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    I am not familiar with the US system so can't comment. Just to clarify - I am not making a new EHR. It could possibly turn into something like an EHR down the line, but that's not what I planned on making initially to solve the specific need I'm working on. I personally managed to get...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Hey @Readerly , I don't mind at all! Happy to share info with you and others who may be reading. The need that I wanted to solve was lingering in my head for quite some time, but initially I thought the idea was too big to go for. In the end I thought if I'm going to do a startup I may as...

    What are your thoughts on "Privilege"?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My dad moved to the UK in the 70's with a one way ticket and £13 of life savings. He worked hard and built a good life. I'll never forget when I was in my teens one day, our gardener was being indirectly hostile towards my dad, saying something along the lines of "damn foreigners taking our...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Hey @Readerly! Ooooh, this is a good juicy question! I started off wanting to solve a very specific problem as a Junior Doctor. It just boggled my mind how many resources were being poured behind this single specific problem. When I looked into it closer, it became apparent that the...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Hey @Readerly Thank you very much for your response. Yes I agree, I can tell that this will definitely spread once it's up and running. I reckon another 6-8 months of tinkering will make the product first of its class. I think my confidence in my app is growing as time goes on, but I'm...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Hey @JAJT! Just needed to let you know that the formal proposal is in place now. I even used phrases similar to what you have written in this thread in our correspondance! Haha! :) We've set the launch for the 27th of next month. This is an absolutely massive deal for me. It's also...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Hey JAJT! Thank you again for your advice! It's really great to be able to get an outside perspective. I've been dedicating such a large percentage of my brain to this startup that I can't think logically sometimes! Yes, you are definitely right! I need to retain my integrity and approach...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Thank you very much for your response. Seeing it in black and white like this just makes it really obvious now! I guess if they back out and say no, then they were never going to say yes. I'm think I'm going to just work on a spec sheet and send it to them along with intent to pay in...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Hello everyone, I've just done a search on the forum and couldn't really find a good presales thread for Enterprise software. I was wondering if anyone out there could share some advice, give some anecdotes or just leave their thoughts regarding presales and how to go about them. Essentially...

    Do you guys feel sick in the stomach when you've to fork out money for product creation?

    I can absolutely relate to this. I felt this way when I started out less than a year ago. I put in the majority of my savings, also funded by my day job, into a new business. I hadn't started a business before, so the fear and lack of support from friends and family was real. In my case it...

    Gym is counter-productive to work. Or is it?

    HEALTH 
    I think this is a super interesting thread. I personally work out four to five times a week (compound lifts and then cardio once a week). I usually get my workouts done between 30-50 minutes and as I have a home gym I can fit my workouts in quite easily. The benefits of exercise for our...
