    Q: Wordpress - commandment of entry

    The "Control" rule isn't about if you do the work yourself. "Control" is about whether Someone more powerful than you can easily destroy everything you've built. We're all vulnerable to nuclear wars, Great Depressions, earthquakes, etc. Aside from that, though, you don't want to have Someone...

    The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Entrepreneur

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hahaha, I guess cats never do what we want them to do :p Dude, FB is sooooo bad. It's the most toxic thing. Nearly everyone is putting on a fake front. And 99% of people active on Facebook are Sidewalkers or Slowlaners. Just remember that. The other 1%? Those are Fastlaners SELLING stuff on...

    The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Entrepreneur

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Just a few suggestions from my own playbook: Outside-the-box Social Solutions: Try to get friends interested in their own business; then they will always want to talk about it. Be *super*-involved, outgoing, and present, when you're socializing (to bank up social energy for the solitary...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Quick next-morning update: Just off the phone of my first "real" Customer Development Interview in "Major Industry #1". It was great! We went for exactly 15 minutes. This time I remembered to just shut up and let him talk. I probably spent 3 minutes speaking out of those 15 (and I could cut...

    @daru I may have figured out the error... I think I was accidentally copy-pasting images from Google Search that came from a deleted website. So it was screwing up the forum when it tried to link to a non-existent image. Pretty sure that's what it is, but I'll keep trying to pin down the cause.

    Testing... Testing... FPB-83 "Wind Horse" You may disagree with me here, but I love the design philosophy of these boats. They draw very little attention in any port around the world. Owners often report being mistaken for Navy vessels. Yet, they are very well-appointed inside. And...

    Self-Taught "Coder" With 5-Figure MRR SaaS Company

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thanks for doing this @James A . I'm at a point very similar to where you were years ago (learning to code, planning to build Subscription Software, but lots of personal experience running my own show in a different arena). You mention something that caught my attention: Before creating any...

    Tuesday (my 30th birthday!) update: Well, I'll probably be skipping over a lot of stuff. It's been a busy day and a great one! I did manage to set aside some time for SaaS, because I want to keep the everyday streak alive. - Completed QuickMail Setup. A few loose ends tied up for the QuickMail...

    Some people learn, work, and think differently than others. I guess if no programmer learns this way, I will be the first :) Thanks for stopping by.

    @MJ DeMarco hey MJ, I've occasionally been having trouble adding pictures to my posts, in this thread especially. I'd love to keep adding pictures of boats (major inspiration) while I work on my Software Company! Any chance you could look into it? Thanks so much. (Error is pasted below...

    Quick Progress Update for Monday Night: - Moved Cold Email Setup forward (as far as possible). As mentioned yesterday, I'm in a temporary technological bottleneck that's outside of my control. This pertains to setting up my Cold Email system, which requires certain permissions not to get...

    SaaS Progress Update for Sunday Evening: I've been so excited it's hard to get a full night's sleep, lol. Woke up early to a huge thunderstorm and severe weather warning. My first Tutoring Lessons were called off by parents, so I dove back into Customer Development for SaaS. Then I headed to...

    Where would you live if you can go anywhere on the world?

    MINDSET 
    This would be my home and office: No kidding, location-independence is a YUUUUuuuge reason my second company is purely Online, purely Software, purely Subscription-based. The first company (tutoring biz) taught me the importance of NOT thinking locally. I want to see everything! I want to...

    The best decision you ever made ?

    I'm turning 30 in 4 days. Hard to pick the best decisions of my life but I'll give a few that seem to me like they qualify. (These all relate directly to my business / entrepreneurship even if they don't seem like it): Dedicating myself to Classical Piano in college (when friends & family...
