SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur
SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONThanks for the feedback and inspirational story! I understand that nobody buys software. Actually, they don't buy expertise either. What people pay for are solutions to their problems, pain relief, bragging rights among friends, etc. Brands are also important, but a brand by itself doesn't...- Young-Gun

SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur
SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONGreat point. Rep transferred!! This is exactly how my introvert thought process needs to be subverted again and again on this business project. SELL before developing. Yes. Pre-Sell the concept, get some money in the bank. PROVE that people will pay for what I offer. First, see that potential...- Young-Gun

SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur
SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONA bit of progress tonight. Planning out SaaS Customer Development campaign to start next week. Working on my email scripts to send to decision makers. I will *not* rely only on email to reach potential customers for Customer Development conversations. Instead a multi-pronged email / phone call...- Young-Gun

Closing Techniques Help with Small Sales, Not Big Sales
MARKETINGThis seems like sound advice from my point of view. I deal with "mid priced" sales by this standard (typical customer spends about $750 over time with us, sometimes up to $3k+) For my customer, this is often a significant financial investment. I've noticed that rushing or forcing the sale does...- Young-Gun

SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur
SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONI also wanted to take a moment to think more about SaaS from a Fastlane perspective. I'd like to expose my thinking, so if there are weak points, ya'll can point them out *NOW* before I invest all the blood, sweat and tears. Does a good SaaS business fulfill the CENTS commandment of MJ's book...- Young-Gun

SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur
SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONHey ya'll, Young Gun here. Not quite so young (a couple of years since I've last posted here). I'm still running my first business (a high-end tutoring company + blog + related infoproducts). There have been some good successes: I've hit low 6-figure income (not profit) for the past 3 years...- Young-Gun

How to be faster than a Ferrari for less money than a Honda Civic
HOT! MINDSETI guess if I'd found something else that equals it, without the same level of risk, I would do that thing. Like I said though, for me it's a level of visceral awesomeness that is tough to match with anything else.. The danger is part of the excitement. It is hard to forget about once you know...- Young-Gun

How to be faster than a Ferrari for less money than a Honda Civic
HOT! MINDSETAh makes more sense. Also this made me laugh, I was predicting the second paragraph (in the sense that my first thought was, IF YOU CUT MY BEAUTIFUL LEATHERS OFF ME I WILL BE SO SAD :(((((( ***WARNING GRISLY DESCRIPTION AHEAD SKIP THE NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU DON"T WANT**** But, can I not make a...- Young-Gun

How to be faster than a Ferrari for less money than a Honda Civic
HOT! MINDSETDamn dude I believe that. But still I'm honestly trying to imagine these accidents.. They must involve flames... I feel like you're seeing the results of 140 mph+ squid ("squirly kid" idiots) on the freeway, My accidents have all been in low-speed corners of low-quality road surfaces. I can't...- Young-Gun

How to be faster than a Ferrari for less money than a Honda Civic
HOT! MINDSETThe Tesla is a gorgeous car. I loved the Lotus-based prototypes even more :) One of my favorites. Becoming extremely common around Austin though, and for me 50% of the vehicle's purpose is to stand out and get noticed.. to be different. I have a good old-fashioned boyhood-style fascination with...- Young-Gun

How to be faster than a Ferrari for less money than a Honda Civic
HOT! MINDSETYou make a really good point, and as an EMT I know your experience is totally different than mine. Unlike many motorcyclists, I prefer to confront this issue head-on and I'm thankful for being reminded of it. In fact, I've gone down at least twice when "surface conditions" were the problem -...- Young-Gun

former student of the foundation(dane maxwell) willing to answer questions
NOTABLE!This was a fascinating read. Agree that the OP came off pretty well: worked hard by his own standards, invested time and money of his own. Dane impressed me with his refund offer, although naturally he gets "good press" for doing so, and honestly I think the refund is owed if the purchaser...- Young-Gun

Selling Your "Stuff" - Strategies and Reasons
This topic was hard for me to pick a forum for. It's part "Fastlane" - because I think emphasizing minimalism (NOT self-denial, just lack of unnecessary accumulation) is a Fastlane concept. To me what I mean, not cluttering your life. Not wasting time, space, mental energy on clutter. But...- Young-Gun

The Seven Differences Between Winners And Losers
MINDSETThis is true. And you always run the risk of alienating people when you relentlessly promote being your own boss. Even when you're trying to do them a favor. So always be sensitive to people who aren't fastlane. I try to remind myself, because I can be insensitive. There's always something...- Young-Gun
