    Naming Your Startup or New Company: Practical Tips and Helpful Tools

    Hey ya'll, As you may know, I'm almost a month into my new SaaS Software Startup (you can read about the project or participate on this thread!) I was able to make it a month deep into the project before picking a final name for my company. But, at a certain point I had to move forward and...

    Building a shopify store but feeling disillusioned!

    Focus is the key. It sounds like you're all over the place. It's not always fun to become successful. You have to be driven by your vision of your future life. Try what I do - set all your desktop, laptop, cell phone backgrounds to a slideshow of the experiences and material things you want...

    My First Time Cold-Emailing Web Design Clients. I'd Love a Critique!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    This is an INCREDIBLE post. Thanks for taking the time to type it up and share it. Especially since the guy above you got the laws wrong and freaked me out that I've been breaking the law with my cold emails (when I really haven't). BTW folks, if you DON'T know the laws, please don't pretend...

    Wrapping things up for the night. Measurable SaaS progress for today (Wednesday): Added 75 Customer Development Prospects to Prospect List. Generated 2 solid Software Business Name Ideas. Other progress today, not as measurable: Took a very educational call with the potential Tutoring...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I was starting to set my systems up today, but one other thing stands in the way of my progress: My Software Company name. I don't want to get hung up picking a name (Lord knows, my first Tutoring Biz was named in about an hour... using the first available Gmail address that I found). But, I...

    Thanks man. It was a bit of a downer since I immediately started building "castles in the sky" thinking what a miracle that this buyer contacted me at this exact moment... even though I wasn't surprised he wasn't going to buy me out, I still hoped deep-down he would give me millions. But...

    Hoo boy there's a lot to say about the past 2 days. It seemed like I had a Private Buyer for my Tutoring Business, out of the blue. But it was a mirage, and he suggested "another year or two of working" before attempting to make an exit. Thing is, the money STILL won't be that good. 3x EBITA...

    I'm up at 2:30 AM because something big (something good) might have just happened with the Tutoring Biz. I don't want to get too excited or specific yet, because it's just the first hint of something good. Can't reveal the details tonight. But one way or another, it's put me into SERIOUS...

    One more bit of progress tonight: Did a late-night Customer Development interview (my 3rd one) with a friend of mine who's also a small-business owner. Although we didn't really land on any good NEEDS that my Software could help her with, it was still great Interview practice. We did identify...

    End-of-day-update: Life and Tutoring Business took ALL my time. Did manage to add 12 prospects to the database today... mostly to make sure I didn't let the day go by without any SaaS action. ---------- Did make some "mental game" progress though: One thing I had to do today was review some...

    Quick check-in for today (Monday): - Tutoring Biz has needed a ton of attention today. - Good news, though - some GREAT $$$$ sales for the tutoring business over the weekend. - I have a bunch of "life stuff" that needs to be taken care of today and tomorrow. - Pretty physically tired from...

    Did it. 100 new SaaS Prospects added today during an 11-hour Tutoring Biz workday, without compromising my work ethic towards my first business. Got about 2 hours of work left to do tonight, then I'm going to get dinner and rest. I should be able to add a few more Prospects in the next hour to...

    Wasn't able to do anything after Tutoring yesterday besides get groceries, make dinner and pick up my house. Still, finding almost 60 new SaaS prospects WHILE doing my normal work day is still making me feel good. Today I have *even more* Tutoring biz to work on. Sat/Sun are always busy for me...

    Just wanted to let you know... if you're following this thread... I will be crushing it today. I'm literally hungry today. I've been spending extra food money on marketing. I didn't have time to eat today before work. The fire is super-hot today. If you're fat, comfy, and lazy, I'm coming to...

    Alright, I'm basically calling it for the night. I outlined my first idea for an Inventory system with Gold and Keys. Started programming the new feature, and made progress. But, I hit a snag when part of the program isn't working as anticipated, and realized I need to rest up and eat...

    Progress on CODING STUDIES made for sure: - Completed Coding the basic rooms and map of my Text Adventure. I think that's 21 rooms I finished today... 30 rooms in total! The process of making a new room now feels completely natural and makes intuitive sense to me. So, there's no need to...
