    I am a sidewalker determined to change lanes

    INTRO 
    Dude. YES. I love your post, and I'm rooting for you 1000%. Might not mean much (some random guy on the internet) But trust me, I am sending good thoughts and energy your way. It's very sad that we have to move beyond certain people in our life who refuse to grow. I don't understand it either...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thanks for throwing it out there, but I'm going to learn to code, and I will be learning to code fluently. If you actually read the thread, you'll understand why. I am fully aware there is more to coding than completing "Learn Python the Hard Way."

    Hi am New here signing in from Lilongwe, Malawi

    INTRO 
    Welcome @Siku NKHOMA ! I'm in completely different businesses (local tutoring company and a SaaS startup) but I've always loved real estate. In another life I'm an architect... working with buildings and land is just SO cool to me. You should tell us more! Maybe if you "brainstorm" your ideas...

    Are you an A player or a B player?

    Eh, not trying to be rude (really). But to me, it's mental masturbation. A-player, B-player. If you want to get somewhere... Follow Laws of Effection and CENTS commandments. Other than that, set up your lifestyle to make YOU happy. (I write this elsewhere as "Go for what you feel you want, not...

    Great advice, thanks. I laughed at myself when I read it, because I suddenly realized I'm probably doing things in SUCH a roundabout way. Like, how would a GENIUS do this? Probably code something to "scrape" the internet for Business Owner info. Or, outsource to a free intern, or something...

    Alright! I've made more progress from Friday night to (today) Saturday evening. I had a lot of tutoring biz to attend to, but I've made good use of my free time. Reviewing where I am with the SaaS Startup: My SaaS business will be built as it evolves successfully through these 4 stages...

    Don't let money be your excuse! (How I turned $400 into $18K fast)

    GOLD! 
    LOL I couldn't help laughing at this post. Alright man, if a bunch of people on the forum see this post, they're gonna come down on you hard for it. I'll try to be nice here and break down why everyone is going to rip on you for this post. First of all, you essentially have no reputation...

    Tech Builder Who Needs to Nail Down Business

    INTRO 
    Me too. I think that this is a Sin that every entrepreneur can fall prey too, especially the more introverted among us. If you're an introvert like me, it can be good to ask almost hourly: "Will this action put me in the path of the OUTSIDE WORLD?" and act accordingly. Something I'm really...

    :rofl::rofl: somehow I knew that's exactly what it would be!! :happy::happy: No worries, I'm not planning to build the next social network ;) My main goal is discovery of simple but pervasive small problems that could be solved in many businesses with a little bit of software. I'm digging in...

    Hey man, just wanted to be sure I responded to this @IvoN ! I do think if you're serious about your business project, absolutely start your own thread. Just to be clear, I'm glad you're posting here! It's more that I'm getting HUGE value from my own write-up of this process. It holds me...

    Also I was wondering, did you have any specific stories about when people asked for "serious software" expecting it to be done in a few days? I think I have a decent enough idea that I would get why it was funny :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Hi again @thehighlander (love that name heh) and thanks for the words of wisdom !! I love your pragmatic but encouraging view. Definitely interested to know more of what you think about my programming project. Ok so, I don't *think* I have the cash for serious development. And, I definitely do...

    Tech Builder Who Needs to Nail Down Business

    INTRO 
    Welcome @thehighlander ! I'm sort of the opposite - 7 years of small-biz experience running my service business with 1-2 employees plus myself. Now I'm starting into tech, as I see it's the best possible business model for my starting situation and endgame goals. Specifically I see Software /...

    Extremely interesting idea, and thanks for sharing your thoughts! Just for you - here's a story of the smartest kid in my high school class (I was 'smart' but he made me feel stupid almost every day)... - Graduated as class president of Duke University - Gets a Fulbright scholarship for a...

    As mentioned, today (Friday) was a day to step away from Customer-Need Development and Outreach. We've gotten that ball rolling, and learned a few useful lessons that I've described in previous posts. Mostly I had free time today. So, today I focused on Product-Building... starting with...

    How much money is needed to live comfortably for the rest of my life?

    EXECUTION 
    Different for everyone. It also changes as you grow as a human being. It can go up or down, depends on what you focus on personally. My minimum "made it" number is $5.5 million in liquid investments for myself, or $11 million in investments if I have a family. I could reach 99.9% of my personal...

    Friday afternoon, got a somewhat annoyed email back from my latest batch of 24 cold emails :D This was basically a business manager telling me: A) Don't email the Owner directly again without permission. B) If this is a Sales Call, they're not interested. C) Contact Business Manager again if I...

    I have the day off from tutoring, so I should have a lot of time today to make progress. It's Friday, so I'm not going to do Cold Email for the next few days (it might get buried over the weekend). Also, Sat / Sun are going to be pretty busy.. I do a lot of tutoring stuff on most weekends...

    Felt great all day and made more progress. (I gotta say, it really helps me focus to know I'll be sharing my progress with you all! I'm really excited to share the journey and I *KNOW* we're going somewhere with this). Unfortunately, I didn't see any more responses today to last night's 28...
