    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I just need to reflect for a few minutes on why I'm doing all this. Maybe it will make sense to other people on a similar path. I realized today what my exact goal is - in simplest possible terms. My goal is life-changing wealth. So, what are the key Life Changes I want, specifically? Never...

    Is this "you can do anything in life" thing only a lie?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    You can't do "anything" you put your mind to (I can't flap my arms and fly) - but, you almost certainly can do 100x more than you believe you can (I could try to design, build, and market a personal jetpack/flying machine). Beethoven composed - while deaf, destitute and physically miserable -...

    Mid-Day Update for Sunday: - Crazy busy Tutoring Biz for today (I'm on the clock from 10 AM to 9 PM), so can't make much SaaS progress. - But, have been drilling my HTML flashcards with my Tutoring downtime. Currently at about 97% correct out of 112 cards.. and I think that's good enough for...

    Hey ya'll, late Saturday night update. Today I was a bit off-balance from some Life stuff that took center stage (weird how Life never slows down, isn't it). But, I did manage to drill the whole 112-card stack of HTML attribute flashcards. Twice. And, to go over the ones that I had trouble...

    Progress Update for Late Friday Night: Yo what's up everyone! Today has been a day focused on HTML. It's one of the simplest languages I'll be using to build my SaaS, but there's still a lot to memorize. Don't worry, I'm not trying to perfectly memorize every single HTML <tag> and <attribute =...

    I actually am not sure how to respond to this, but I know I want to. If I'm reading right, you're suggesting you think pure internet businesses are mostly not turning a profit? Am I misreading you completely? Are you only talking about internet retail, or all "businesses [trying to make] a...

    Hey man, props on the progress you've made so far. You're absolutely right to STOP before you go further. Make SURE it's a real need, with real people, who WANT to give you $$$ to solve the problem. As for "secret sauce" to find contacts? Honestly there isn't any. Just a willingness to spend...

    Hah, the fact that I barely have any idea what this means, is the proof that I have more studying to do tonight before I fall asleep :) I love hearing the terms, though. Learning more every day :) :)

    Thanks for reading man and I'm so glad you've dropped a line in the thread! I've considered a few Tutoring-Software ideas, but honestly, I cannot f*cking wait to get out of this industry. The past 6 weeks have made that abundantly clear to me. Honestly, I've been screaming to get out into...

    Hey man, thanks reading and the great advice! It's so fun to make progress, even if sometimes there's a lot of pre-learning required to build something cool. Udemy is a great idea - gotta wait for the sales on the courses, heh. Want a dose of comedy/irony? I actually have 3 of my own courses on...

    Hey man, sorry to be slow responding! Just wanted to make sure I thanked you for this, and the SRS has gotten me thinking a lot about how I can learn most efficiently! Still gotta "git around" to GitHub. I'm less scared now, but it's just not very pressing at the moment (although it will become...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thursday night update: Similar to yesterday, but had to handle a lot more Tutoring Biz stuff. With my free time I focused more today on grasping what Django is. What it can do, why I need it, how to use it to build Web Apps. I feel a good bit more clear on how it works. There's a lot more to...

    Late-Night update from next day (not even sure what day it is anymore..) Wow. I simply cannot remember the last time I've learned this much in a single day. Probably college, or cramming for a high school final, or something. In morning, set out to learn more about Front End Development...

    Sorry I missed my update yesterday. Got allergies or some sickness in my throat and head - took a little Benadryl, and passed out early. The past 2 days (being somewhat sick) have focused on LEARNING what I can. And, I've been trying to drink from a firehose of knowledge. Cramming in as many...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Wow, super deep. Thanks for the morning thoughts. I think you are 100% correct, but I never thought about it this way. For me, money/income is definitely tied to anxieties about life and death. Thanks for helping putting a piece of the puzzle together, and I'll make the most of this day -...

    Update for Sunday: Was coming down with a throat sickness of some kind, no fun. Stepped back from Coding hands-on to learn more about supporting stuff. I kind of needed a day's break from staring at the green glow of the text editor. For example, spent time today reading / flashcarding on: -...

    Thank you so much for writing the steps out. I was honestly getting kind of frustrated and stuck with Github. I will use these steps to post the code tomorrow. Thank you, Rep transferred!

    Progress Report for Saturday Evening: Today was a very hands-on day for Learning to Code and Text Adventure, marked with some good progress and a couple moments of MAJOR frustration (like physical anger level)... as I will report below. But mostly great progress for a single day, I think I'm...

    Hey I absolutely would love your feedback on my code! I will post to github soon! There are a few other people who keep asking me to do that, so I need to hustle. As mentioned in the response above, I'm on a timeline of 1-2 more weeks to complete the game to my satisfaction. Then I will...

    Thanks man, I needed that encouragement this morning! It has been a lot of awesome progress - I counted, and it's been less than 45 days since I finally accepted that I need to leave the Tutoring Business for Software! I feel like I've learned (and done) a lot in the past 6 weeks. Life is good...
